Boat Race stopped as two boats collide and Oxford narrowly avoid disqualification
Oxford narrowly escaped being disqualified just two minutes into the women’s Boat Race. The team were handed a warning and the race was restarted after Oxford’s oars collided with those of their Cambridge rivals.
Cambridge rushed into an early lead and Oxford trailing slightly behind. Desperate to catch up, Oxford found themselves drifting towards the Cambridge boat. The two boats came so close together that their oars collided, with Oxford taking the blame over the incident.
