___For marking of rowing track “ALBANO” type buoy system is planned to be installed. This system is used on all rowing tracks that meet international requirements. “ALBANO” type track marking system is a method of marking kayak, canoe and rowing competitions with ropes and buoys. It was first used on Lake Albano in Italy during Summer Olympic Games in 1960. This system has become the international standard in FISA events and is used during the rowing events in the Olympic Games.
