Rowers from British universities Oxford and Cambridge will compete on Sunday in the men's and women's Boat Race, one of the oldest sporting events in the world that typically attracts more than 200,000 spectators along the River Thames in London.
The men’s race first took place in 1829. The women’s crews have been racing along the same course between Putney and Mortlake since 2015, and before that in other locations from 1927.
