• Cambridge score a double-first for the second year running
• James Cracknell becomes oldest winner of Boat Race
For the second year in succession Cambridge were victorious in both the men’s and women’s editions of the Boat Race.
In the men’s race Cambridge – who had the former Olympian James Cracknell in their crew, at 46 the oldest competitor in the race’s history – quickly justified their status as pre-race favourites and though Oxford closed the gap slightly as the race progressed, it proved a comfortable victory.
