              Every year, in late March or early April, a boat race takes place on the Thames River, England. This boat race is an event between the two most famous and also the oldest universities in Britain the Oxford (牛津大学) and the Cambridge (剑桥大学).

                 The idea for the boat race between the universities came from two friends—Charles Merivale, a student at Cambridge, and his friend Charles Wordsworth who was at Oxford. They decided to set up a boat race between the two universities. On March 12, 1829, Cambridge sent a challenge to Oxford first.

                 When the first boat race took place in a small town by Thames, eight students from each university became the competitors. Crowds of twenty thousand travelled to watch. It was so exciting. And the Oxford was clear winners. Later on, not only did the students from the two universities take part, but also some social groups attended the event. By 1845, with the small town becoming too crowded, the boat race had moved six miles up to the village—Putney. From 1856 on, the race has been held every year except war years. This boat race is considered to be “the world's oldest sporting challenge”.

                 The race is four and a quarter miles in just 20 minutes and the competitors often face difficulties. It usually takes six months for the two teams to prepare for the big day. In the past, the Oxford was mostly the winners. But things have changed from 1993 on. The Cambridge has won more.
