In the latest Boat Race, Cambridge maintained its supremacy, defeating Oxford in both the men’s and women’s events amidst a controversial buildup that saw three Oxford athletes barred. The women’s race featured a dramatic restart after a clash of oars, but Cambridge ultimately secured their eighth consecutive victory, while the men overcame early pressure from Oxford to achieve their third straight win with a decisive finish. Despite the pre-race tensions, Cambridge’s strong performance left no doubt about their dominance in this historic rivalry.
