The Boat Race

Wife and I are watching the race today...They had to row back a bit and restart at the island due to a protester swinging in the water. The guy nearly got his head knocked off by the oars.

Is anyone else watching this??

Why would somebody protest a boat race? Save The Oars Foundation? Float Cushions are people too?

Oxford turned into Cambridge in the bend and broke and oar.

Cambridge won, but Oxford had the lead before the protester...that sucks

I have no idea. The police boat picked him up...I'll watch the BBC papers later for the reason.

Cambridge won this year, but will have a question mark staining it. A controversial decision by the judge on the cause of the collision causing the broken oar.
