The Rowing Service was at the BIRC's 2002, and had a fine time commentating on the racing. The live-written coverage, which was uploaded in real time, can be found as part 1 and part 2 on this site. The organisers' website also carries full results, short race summaries and some photographs.
Below is the brief winners list, with medallists in the four open events.
