{{Rowing at the 2000 Summer Olympics}}

The women's lightweight double sculls competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia took place at the Sydney International Regatta Centre.

{{TOC limit|3}}

Competition format

This rowing event is a double scull event, meaning that each boat is propelled by a pair of rowers. 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. As a lightweight rowing competition, the body mass of the rowers was limited to a maximum of 72.5 kilograms each and 70 kilograms on average.

The competition consisted of multiple rounds. Finals were held to determine the placing of each boat; these finals were given letters with those nearer to the beginning of the alphabet meaning a better ranking. Semifinals were named based on which finals they fed, with each semifinal having two possible finals.

With 18 boats in heats, the best boats qualify directly for the semi-finals. All other boats progress to the repechage round, which offers a second chance to qualify for the semi-finals. Unsuccessful boats from the repechage must proceed to final C, which determines places 13–18. The best three boats in each of the two semi-finals qualify for final A, which determines places 1–6 (including the medals). Meanwhile, unsuccessful boats from semi-finals A/B must proceed to final B, which determines places 7–12.{{cite sports-reference|title = Rowing at the 2000 Sydney Summer Games: Women's Lightweight Double Sculls|url = https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/2000/ROW/womens-lightweight-double-sculls.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200418025206/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/2000/ROW/womens-lightweight-double-sculls.html|url-status = dead|archive-date = 18 April 2020|access-date = 6 November 2012}}
