The Boat Races

Clare Balding introduces live coverage from the River Thames on a historic day, when the Oxford and Cambridge Men's and Women's Boat Races take equal billing for the first time.

Clare Balding introduces live coverage from the banks of the River Thames on a historic day. The Boat Race just became The Boat Races as the women's competition takes equal billing as the men's. This will be the 161st race between the men of Oxford and Cambridge Universities and the 70th meeting between the women. It is, however, the first time the women's race has been competed for along the iconic 4.2-mile Championship Course. Clare Balding is joined by guests including Sir Matthew Pinsent and Anna Watkins.
