### Olympic Audio Faking, Rowing Sound Samples

A sound designer for the Olympics reveals that the audio heard during rowing events is often faked using pre-recorded samples. Because actual rowing sounds are drowned out by helicopters and chase boats, designers use samplers to create the illusion of oars hitting the water. This practice raises questions about the authenticity of sports broadcasting.
