eights
Figures on ice
Eights is the plural of eight, the number between seven and nine.
In rowing, an eight is a racing shell with eight rowers and a coxswain—the largest standard crew boat: The eights final is the marquee event at Henley.
To be behind the eight ball is to be in a difficult position, from the pool game where sinking the eight ball prematurely loses.
