The Course
In these great videos from BNY Mellon with Sir Matthew Pinsent he shows the challenges of each section of the Boat race. He describes the course as "4 and a quarter miles of windy, tortuous pain ahead of you. It is a brutal race."
Matthew was in the winning Oxford team twice in 1990 and 1991. He also has 4 Olympic Gold rowing medals won at Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney and Athens.
