Boat Race 2019 - Oxford v Cambridge preparations at London’s Putney

[@andrewganley9016]

Can anyone explain how a 46yr old man who never went anywhere near Cambridge was allowed to row? no wonder the Oxford crew looked pissed!

[@petermyatt2772]

He's studying for a Phd there.

[@Superhaza2001]

He’s doing an MPhil, and it’s not even land economy, which is what rowers usually do at Cambridge because it’s easy

[@jgacton2703]

He went there for a year to do a masters course, since he never did one before as he left education to train full time with the GB squad.

Not a sports person, but Putney looks like worth a visit next time in London.🇬🇧🕶️

[@LondonHot]

Yes definitely worth checking out. In the background of this video is Fulham football grounds and, maybe more to your liking, is a church that featured in The Omen?

Hey I'm going to have my first ever race next week in a single. I am 15, 189 cm, 60kg and I've only been rowing for six months. Any tips for the race?

@Ethan Elmore cheers man

What’s with the yellow? I thought Cambridge was only that greenish color

[@ballagh]

Owen Keating the Cambridge 'b' crew is named goldie (the Oxford one is 'isis'). I'll leave Gotham with you. 😉

Used to listen to the boat race on the radio in the 1950s they made it sound really exciting but watching on tv shows what a boring event it really is.
