Will Thames Water’s failures know no bounds? The latest calamity of the UK privatised water industry is that the Boat Races – one of the most British of fascinations – will not feature the winners’ traditional post-race cox dunk into the river. Alas, decades of neglect and sewage dumping by the local water company have led to race organisers issuing tough new safety guidelines to combat the dangerously high levels of E coli in the Thames. At least the rowers are smart enough to know better than ignore them.

Cambridge won both the women’s and men’s race last year, continuing Oxford’s win-less run in the women’s race that dates back to 2016. It is a similar story of light blue dominance in the men’s race, with Cambridge having taken victory in four of the past five men’s races. In the all-time standings, Cambridge’s men lead their series 86-81, with one recorded dead heat, and have a 47-30 advantage in the women’s series.

However, the bookmakers have Oxford are favourites in both events this year. The dark blue men’s crew, which features GB rowers Harry Glenister and Lenny Jenkins, has enjoyed positive results so far this year, albeit Cambridge boasts more experience on the Championship Course.

Cambridge women’s boat reaction
Cambridge cox Hannah Murphy ‘looks at them’ on clashes [getting] As we got closer and closer, we realized we were at our station. Even though I had strayed a little from my station, I knew I was in the right spot and wanted to get back into the rhythm as soon as possible.you can see it there [on the replay], I’ll be leaving soon. ”
Jenna Armstrong said, “I trust Hannah 100%, which is why she was chosen to steer this race.” My job as a four-man is to trust and move forward. So I just put my head down, listened to her, and did it – we all did it. It was incredible. ”
The result remains as is. Cambridge wins!
I haven’t made a final decision yet, but However, replays seem to show that Oxford have moved.
Phelps and Guerret are still debating this point. The referee seemed unwilling to change his mind and stated that Oxford had moved to Cambridge’s station to collide with the opposing boat.
There’s a red flag
Oxford University manager Joe Guerret raised his hand to appeal. Race judge Richard Phelps goes to the dark blue boat and reminds Guerret of the pre-race briefing that he will be at the station.
Cambridge wins 7th consecutive women’s boat race!
Light Blue makes a comeback with an incredible performance and overwhelms his rivals.
Oxford currently have a lead of nearly 15 seconds. This race was all based on that incident.
This almost ensured victory as Cambridge ran away strong towards Barnesbridge.
It caused great damage to Oxford, They are now at least a boat length behind Cambridge. Oxford appeared to be trying to disqualify Cambridge, but it backfired badly. Big mistake by Oxford cox Joe Guerret.
Big drama! Cambridge moves in front of Oxford’s boat, nearly colliding with Dark Blue as it moves right behind it.
This is of high quality, so Cambridge are almost back on form, so will they push forward? Light Blue seems to have rowed well around this curve and taken the lead.
Cambridge continues to recover from deficit When passing under Hammersmith Bridge. It’s now half the length.
There is some overlap The race is between two boats with two thirds to go. Cambridge is not out of the picture yet, but there is much work to be done.
Oxford was a big favorite. Going into the race, I now understand why. As we approach Hammersmith Bridge, the curve is about to turn in Cambridge’s favor.
The team is passing through Craven Cottage And Oxford seems to be pulling away again, almost breaking the clear water.
Cambridge has recovered After a big early dark blue push, it’s gamely stuck to the task.
It’s far away!
And Oxford are off to a good start, already with a lead of nearly half.
There is also a lot of international interest This year’s boat race has garnered coverage from the New York Times, Fox News, ABC, CNN, and many other international media outlets, but not for the reasons you’d hope.
River Action said tests showed E. coli levels up to 10 times higher than what the country’s environment agency considers to be “poor”, the lowest of the four categories in which seawater is assessed.
At that exact moment, A boat is coming out to the water. The race will start in 10 minutes.

preamble
Are Thames Water’s failures limitless? The latest disaster for Britain’s privatized water industry is that one of its most British attractions, the boat races, will no longer feature the traditional post-race winner’s cox dunk into the river. Sadly, decades of neglect and sewage dumping by local water companies have led race organizers to issue strict new safety guidelines to combat dangerously high levels of E. coli in the Thames. At least the rowers are smart enough to know better than to ignore it.
