Praise for the athletes

鈥淗aving witnessed the intense training over a number of years, I can tell you these guys are no ordinary students; they combine their academic courses with a high-performance rowing programme. Their commitment to excellence on and off the water is truly extraordinary. It is nothing short of superhuman.鈥

Renowned BBC Sport commentator Andrew Cotter, who hosted the event, emphasised the purity of 探花直播Boat Race in today鈥檚 sporting landscape. 鈥淚n the modern era of sport, when so much is inflated by money and professionalism, this is sport stripped back to its essence,鈥 he said.听

鈥淚t is pure competition, it is about winning and losing. And I know that鈥檚 how the athletes feel about it, but they also feel that this is where they will make friendships that will last a lifetime.鈥

Historic firsts and environmental commitments
