A great experience regardless of which crew won on this historic occasion! All the same, How is it that the first women's boat race did in fact take place on the Thames in 1927 and yet ceased to do so again up until 2015? The evidence is there on film for anyone to see!

Wow this is an odd race. Sarabi seems to have its own distinct style with lots of back swing, but their stroke seat, Jenna Armstrong, look stylistically more similar to Mufasa than to the rest of her boat! And this can be seen most clearly by looking at the blade work on stroke side around the 21 minute mark. The stroke's catches are way sharper than the rest of her boat. Wild

As a cox and a rower, I will say that in the worst situations, these coxes defended their crews. At the end of the day, that earned trust and absolute backing means as much as winning

The final result misled me into thinking this was a one sided race. What composure the ladies need to stay calm and keep their rhythm and race plan through the first 4+ km. Congratulations to the crew and coaches.

Considering that the Oxford Women's Reserves boat won, the available video footage is extremely dissapointing to Oxford fans. I would have liked to see their celebration, but all coverage cut to men's reserve race, where Cambridge prevailed.

are this the backup teams?
@gordonpetersmith4 ай бұрын
not backup - lightweight rowing is for athletes below a certain individual and average crew weight. 59kg max for women, 57kg average. This year's winning Cambridge men's boat stroke man previously rowed as a lightweight but he bulked up a bit to row in the openweight blue boat!

"Well deserved" indeed, though I might argue that Oxford "lost" that race, more so than Cambridge "won" it ? I always find myself hoping Oxford will do well (Not necessarily "win", but do well). I'm afraid this years lightweight men did not look good. Cambridge seemed to have won that race in the opening strokes. The conditions were tough, but Oxford was never in the race.
@tullochgorum63234 ай бұрын
Drat - not quite another clean sweep! But it's been notable how much smoother the Cambridge crews have been looking technically. Seems that Oxford have been bringing in some new coaching blood - but it's surely time for a rethink?

Thanks for uploading this. I'm really pleased and grateful to see all this extra footage recently on KZbin. Great to see Cambridge win. Although very sorry that the other place had such bad luck with the flooding and time off the water. No-one wants that.

I read and listened with great interest as I support Cambridge only because my wife and daughter support Oxford. So, has the BBC decided who won yet? It was stated earlier Cambridge, butt the BBC stated Oxford today. Then corrected themselves an hour or so later. BBC continue to spout it is " news you can trust" but it is obvious a bit of a lie.
@adrianwright86854 ай бұрын
As the coxes have their backs to the umpire what use are his hand signals? Does someone in the crew have to relay the message? Or maybe he is in wireless contact with the coxes?

It's a shame you've disabled the comments for the actual race. I imagine you're too worried about all the comments focusing on the utter state of the rivers and waterways in the UK post Brexit. They were protected while we were part of the EU but now have turned into a dumping ground so the Tory government can let their friends make fantastic amounts of money at the expense of the environment and the public. What an utter disgrace that the boat race highlights just how bad the situation is.

They should change the rules, so the universities can't bring in ringers. It sounds like only one person on the crew is a real student. The rest will be Olympic rowers
