Oxford clashed oars with Cambridge in a tangle that forced the women's Boat Race 2025 to be restarted on Sunday (April 13).
Cambridge had made a flying start before the collision, jumping ahead by a seat or two. Oxford were given a warning as they drifted into the Cambridge boat before both boats' oars became tangled together.
For a moment, it seemed Oxford might be disqualified by umpire Sir Matthew Pinsent, however, they escaped punishment and the race was resumed. Cambridge's boat went on to claim their eighth race victory in a row.
Spanning a distance just short of Putney Bridge to Chiswick Bridge, the Boat Race is four miles and 374 yards (6.8 km) long.
