Pulling together: how Cambridge came to dominate the Boat Race
The race along the River Thames between England's two greatest universities spans 195 years of rivalry and is now one of the world's oldest and most famous amateur sporting events. Our photographer has been spending time with the Cambridge University Boat Club over the past few months as they prepare for 2024's races.
The idea of a Boat Race between the two universities dates back to 1829, sparked into life by a conversation between Old Harrovian schoolfriends Charles Merivale, a student at the time at St John's College Cambridge, and Charles Wordsworth who was at Christ Church Oxford. On 12 March that year, following a meeting of the newly formed Cambridge University Boat Club, a letter was sent to Oxford.
From then, the Cambridge University Boat Club has existed to win just one race against just one opponent, something Cambridge has got very good at recently.

Pulling together: how Cambridge came to dominate the Boat Race
The race along the River Thames between England's two greatest universities spans 195 years of rivalry and is now one of the world's oldest and most famous amateur sporting events. Our photographer has been spending time with the Cambridge University Boat Club over the past few months as they prepare for 2024's races.
The idea of a Boat Race between the two universities dates back to 1829, sparked into life by a conversation between Old Harrovian schoolfriends Charles Merivale, a student at the time at St John's College Cambridge, and Charles Wordsworth who was at Christ Church Oxford. On 12 March that year, following a meeting of the newly formed Cambridge University Boat Club, a letter was sent to Oxford.
From then, the Cambridge University Boat Club has existed to win just one race against just one opponent, something Cambridge has got very good at recently.
Rob Baker,, the mens head coach for the Cambridge University Boat Club, talks to his blue boat at their Ely training site on March 20th 2024 in Cambridgeshire, UK.
