boat race post-script

The following News stories are up for the race:

From the Guardian:
Oxford's Goliaths Punch Their Weight
Heidicker Sees His Hopes Drift Away From The First Stroke

From the Daily Telegraph:
Monsters Inc Trample The Technicians

From the Times:
Stroke of Genius

From CNN International:
Oxford Win 151st Varsity Boat Race

It's interesting, though. Many of the reports coming in refer to the enormous international presence on both the Oxford and Cambridge teams. Of Cambridge's eight rowers, only two were British. Of Oxford's, four. Which is interesting, because Oxford was cited for having three Americans and two Canadians. It seems that when they're counting, some journalists count a dual American/Canadian citizen as two full people. Stupid...

A reply to the last posting stated that the boat race even made the Sports section of the NYTimes. Unfortunately, it's not yet made the New York Times online edition.
