This website covers all aspects of the rich history of rowing, as a sport, culture phenomena, a life style, and a necessary element to keep your wit and stay sane.
At the Oxford men’s Putney base, the Westminster School boathouse, the flags of both the University and the School have been at half-mast as a mark of respect to Dan Topolski, an alumnus of both institutions.
Here is Tim Koch’s third picture report from Tideway Week:
The Crabtree Boathouse (Cambridge Alumni) flying the ‘Cambridge Blue’ flag of the Blue Boat and the ‘gold’ flag of Goldie, the Reserve Boat.The Oxford women’s Blue Boat, stroked by 32-year old Caryn Davies, ‘the most decorated Olympic athlete to ever compete in any of the Boat Races’. She has gold medals from stroking the U.S. Women’s Eight in Beijing and London and a silver from Athens. She also has four World Champs and five World Cup golds. Sometimes, a coach’s choice is easy.Osiris, the Oxford women’s reserves, had a slight clash with a Cambridge launch in the morning. No damage was done – as events later in the day were to prove.Osiris return from their last outing before their race later in the day.Osiris take their eight into the simple but pleasing building that is Imperial College boathouse, the base for the Oxford women during Tideway Week.The Cambridge men’s Blue Boat: stroke Henry Hoffstot and cox Ian Middleton, both veterans of the 2014 Race.Cambridge under scrutiny at Hammersmith.Cambridge at Harrods – but no time for shopping.Oxford won the Veterans’ Race by a greater margin than this picture suggests. A full report will follow.Osiris won the women’s reserves race by a ‘very comfortable’ margin. Again, a full report will follow.
