Men’s single sculls competition at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing was held between August 9 and 16 at the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park.This rowing event is a single scull event meaning that each boat is propelled by a single rower. The scull portion means that the rower uses two oars one on each side of the boat; this contrasts with sweep rowing in which each rower has one oar and rows on only one side (not feasible for singles events).
