Rowing qualifies another two boats for Rio 2016. The women's eights and lightweight double sculls will now take part in the 31st edition of the Summer Olympics, by virtue of the decision taken by the International Federation regarding the situation with Russia.

The number of Italian athletes competing in the Games now exceeds 300: there will be 309 Italian athletes in Brazil (165 men and 144 women)
