The 164th Men's Boat Race

Cambridge ran out clear winners in The Men’s Boat Race to complete a clean sweep for a jubilant Light Blue cohort. The power and poise of the Light Blue crew was too much in the end for Oxford, who had already made a personnel change in the week.

Can you upload the reserve races too? They shouldn't be overlooked, they were also part of a fantastic day for those of us at the riverbank :)

You must be easily satisfied mate

Thanks for the upload - fantastic clarity with these recent recordings compared with earlier years on YT!

[@pierocells]

Thanks for sharing thoose two mythic rowing clubs!

[@alexmoffatt9770]

Rowing, the ultimate team sport and graceful to boot

[@jamespostle6894]

There's something up with the way Oxford rows it just doesn't look right

[@kevinhiggins910]

Love the boat race!

[@robkluvers4020]

What a shocking difference in technique! I fully understand why CUBC had won!!!

[@robkluvers4020]

As a professional rowing coach I think I could have done a better job with the technique of OUBC. But maybe it was the stress of the OUBC crew when they realised that the race was over after 30 strokes.

[@robkluvers4020]

Yoel Frischoff Same style, same errors

[@leoren2685]

Would love further info on what you think the differences are - curious what a professional coach sees.

[@robkluvers4020]

Leo Ren Dear Leo, The catch and first part of The drive are inefficiënt During The drive there is a lot of water spilled, blades are not fixed The whole crew is not recovering to The catch but to The drive...

[@robkluvers4020]

There is a lot more to discus. My phone does not except English.... I Will get this right The next time..

[@yambo9668]

Wow, you don’t realize how hard they are trying in this race until you actually row yourself. I started rowing about two years ago and hadn’t seen this in a while but now when I look at this I can see they must be trying so hard and just be so tired!

[@Jamie_kemp]

it's incredible that they look so calm, i agreee, it's easy to think they're just a bit tired, but they're dying inside

[@Zenovarse]

Dying in a race is not good for technique. A person who never rows with raging adrenaline cannot outperform a person who's good at rowing who rows calmly.

[@Zenovarse]

Only try hard on training

[@Zenovarse]

Do not try hard in race

[@kevindunham3669]

Raced this course when I was 15 in the scullers head rowed for years never a fan of the boat race

[@marcusconway4]

Congratulations Sean Bowden!

[@darkside313]

Thanks for upload!

[@user-ej5mr9th1i]

Oxford a lot more tension and loading in the outside shoulder area, and body angle is open much earlier in the drive than Cambridge imo. Not much of a finish lay back either, quite short. Both crews putting in a lot of work, but with Oxford it really does look like hard work with little relaxation compared to a smoother, more efficient application from Cambridge. Just my opinion 😉

[@jamespostle6894]

From a technique perspective they just didn't look very nice. No disrespect to them. but that's my opinion

[@gazza2933]

Light Blues!!!

[@wicczeez8081]

Plot twist the camera guy is riding a kayak

[@Justify4935]

What race was this? 5000 meter?

[@tsvetomirmalinov3815]

How many kilometers are or miles

[@Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze]

All the eight rowers face bockward, but the cox faces forward

[@Zenovarse]

Which is peak for a rower because you only know how much you're winning and not how far you are behind so if you are behind you become instantly paranoid

[@Grifiki]

" B Flat for Oxford?"

[@mikewalsh6168]

"Incredible race". Surely a bit of an overstatement in view of the fact that the race? was over within 5 minutes as is usual in the boat race.

[@mikewalsh6168]

Surely the non sporting event of the year.

[@bassman1ism]

For fucks sake the boat race the none event of the year. It’s on tv all day who gives a toss about it.

[@kabirbhalla6777]

Janice, im sorrry but who are you? Using the rowing machine once at the health club doesnt qualify you to chat about rowing. When your resting heart rate goes below 75 then you talk. #teamkeaneftw

[@kevindunham3669]

Over 250,000 watch it live on the Tideway not bad for none event plus over 5 million people watching on TV

[@geoffreyhester2454]

You talk shit

[@janetgough6585]

And yet you're watching it again on KZbin, Janice...
