Performance sources & calculation notes

PB means fastest valid result at each distance in the supplied records. Original date and stroke rate stay attached to that test. User-provided PBs are not independently verified. Splits = total seconds × 500 ÷ distance. Percentage = benchmark ÷ actual × 100. Gap = actual − benchmark. Missing tests are not estimated.

    Five screenshot observations confirmed by Matei as his recorded PBs and approved for his named profile on 24/10/2026. Dates have month precision. User-provided, not independently verified; no 10k result supplied.

Benchmarks: James Mangan’s Z12 Erg League workbook. All 360 normalized 2k references are unchanged; 1,800 references cover the other distances. The selector uses twelve discrete references across Development, Pre-Elite and Elite; D/P/E identifies the tier and 1–4 the source order (fastest to slowest). It does not reproduce the unknown original 1–10 mapping.

Fixed workbook category: U19 80 KG. U19 80 KG explicitly assigned by Matei for his profile on 24/10/2026. This is not a verified general Junior/Lightweight eligibility rule.

Elite · reference 4 of 4. Source cells: 100m E29, 500m E28, 1k E27, 2k E26, 6k E25, 10k E24. No interpolation or inferred age/weight eligibility rules.

Sources & record notes

Profile details, rowing preferences, achievements and coaching relationships are user-provided. Countries describe personal connections, not national-team representation. No missing results have been inferred. Dates use DD/MM/YYYY, or MM/YYYY where only a month was supplied.

Fictional testing data: Matei Ventuneac did not participate in this example. It illustrates a future result display, not a verified Z12 Challenge result or an erg test. No API integration is implemented.
