Question about the rowing. What is Final B? And what happens if a final B team get a better time that final A?

The B final is like the loser's consolation prize. It had no relation to anything else, and theres no medals, regardless of how well you did.

Seems a bit pointless to me.

Seems very pointless. "You lost and are not in the final but row anyway... for fun, it'll cheer you up."

It's goes towards the teams overall standing. The "B" final determines 7th to 12th which seeds them for the world championships, therefore avoiding the preliminary rounds.

Something like that.
