The Boat Race 2000
The 146th Boat Race took place on 25 March 2000. Oxford won the race by three lengths, breaking a seven-year spell of Cambridge dominance. The result was a "shock triumph".〔 The race also featured the joint-tallest ever competitor, and the youngest ever winner in the "modern" race. In the reserve race, Isis beat Goldie by five lengths, and Oxford triumphed in the women's race, emerging with victory in the men's and women's races for the year.
==Background==
The Boat Race is an annual competition between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. First held in 1829, the competition is a race along the River Thames in southwest London. The rivalry is a major point of honour between the two universities and followed throughout the United Kingdom and worldwide. Cambridge went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 1999 race by three-and-a-half lengths.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Boat Race – Results )〕 Cambridge had won the last seven races (between 1993 and 1999); and led overall with 76 victories to Oxford's 68〔 (excluding the "dead heat to Oxford by five feet" of 1877).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Classic moments – the 1877 dead heat )〕 The race was sponsored by Aberdeen Asset Management.〔
The first Women's Boat Race took place in 1927, but did not become an annual fixture until the 1960s. Up until 2014, the contest was conducted as part of the Henley Boat Races, but as of the 2015 race, it is held on the River Thames, on the same day as the men's main and reserve races. The reserve race, contested between Oxford's Isis boat and Cambridge's Goldie boat has been held since 1965. It usually takes place on the Tideway, prior to the main Boat Race.〔
