James Cracknell in the Cambridge boat, prepares for the start of the 165th annual men's boat raceDouble Olympic gold medallist James Cracknell has helped Cambridge to win the annual boat race against Oxford.
The 47-year-old, now a Masters student, rowed with the victorious crew in the historic race along the Thames.Image:Cambridge stroke Lily Lindsay has rowed internationally for the US, but said nothing compared to a boat race victory."Training alongside my teammates has been unbelievable. It's been a pleasure.
At the halfway point it looked as though they could have clocked a record time, but finished on 18m and 47s, about 14 seconds slower than the 2017 winning time.
Well done for winning the medal
Ridiculous
Sorry folks-this is a team race,there are other younger rowers & a Cox! This is what it is, not introducing an experienced rower via backdoor education to introduce positive bias. But then it's the BBC & you cannot get more biased or sycophantic than that! So, James won it then!
wot rubbish whooos bothered 👎 👎 👎
Who cares! Why is all the focus on Cracknell? Should it not be on the team?
What is Cracknell “studying “ to qualify for Cambridge crew? Damn thing is a nonsense!
I would query a university race part. A few looked a tad over uni age, plus an Olympic medalist! 🤷♂️
Is this even a sport? Should just be called University Challenge umpired by Jeremy Coxman 👍🚣♀️
I want a re run of the race Bad_Taste1973
Well done to james Bracknell so very much deserved and the rest of the team
This brings out the closet Marxist in me - over-privileged, over-educated. Isn’t it about time they got proper jobs and put those multiple Ivy League degrees to good use.
Whopp de fucking doo.

Who really cares about this other than snobby twts.
Just totally shit on the rest of the less important members of the team, their kids are crying. Nice One.
