From 12.45 Grandstand
Introduced by Frank Bough direct from the riverside at Putney
and featuring The University Boat Race
Oxford (51 wins) v. Cambridge (62 wins)
in the 115th race of the series.
Cameras on the shore, aboard the launch, Everest, and in a helicopter follow the race from the start at Putney to the finish at Mortlake.
Except for pushing a peanut with one's nose, there can be few slower or more uncomfortable ways of travelling four-and-a-half miles than rowing in the Boat Race, writes Desmond Hill, Rowing Correspondent of The Daily Telegraph.
I doubt if even the peanut-pushers set aside almost six months in preparation for their ordeal. There may, of course, be something of the mountaineer's justification about it, and just possibly the sixteen young men who will row their hearts out from Putney to Mortlake this afternoon will do it because the Boat Race 'is there.' But since sixteen young men have rowed the course no fewer than 114 times already they have probably had a good many reasons, and it would be pointless to try to pin it down to just one.
What is certain is that at about 3.50 today it is going to have been immeasurably worthwhile for half of them to have trained selflessly for so long.
And for the losers? A terrible hour, or night, of heartbreak, to have come so far for so little, but the certain knowledge that they could not have done better than their best, and for some at least, determination that next year it could well be a different story.
