Dive into one of the most chaotic chapters in British sporting history: The Boat Races 2016. On a day that made history with all four senior races on the Tideway for the first time, the real headline was the "biblical" weather. As hail and thunder lashed the River Thames, the legendary Oxford-Cambridge rivalry became a battle for survival. We recount the harrowing story of the Cambridge women's crew nearly sinking in the violent water, Oxford's dominant victory, and how the Cambridge men navigated the storm to break a four-year losing streak. It’s seven months of pain, for no prize money, in the worst conditions imaginable.
