The great British sporting tradition celebrates its 150th outing as the rowing crews of Oxford and Cambridge compete over four-and-a-quarter miles along the River Thames from Putney to Mortlake (starts 6.00). Last year's race produced the closest finish ever, with Oxford winning by just one foot. The build-up recalls the greatest moments since 1829, the year the two universities first rowed against each other. There's also a re-creation of that inaugural race and a look at how crews prepared then and now.
