The Boat Race 2001
The 147th Boat Race was won by Cambridge by two-and-a-half lengths. It was the first time in the history of the event that the race was stopped and restarted, following a clash of blades.
In the reserve race Goldie beat Isis; Cambridge also won the Women's race.
==Background==
The Boat Race is an annual competition between the boat clubs of the University of Oxford and the University of 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. Oxford went into the race as reigning champions, having won the 2000 race by three lengths, but Cambridge led overall with 76 victories to Oxford's 69 (excluding the "dead heat" of 1877). The race was sponsored by Aberdeen Asset Management for the second consecutive year.〔
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.〔
