The 155th Oxford vs. Cambridge Boat Race takes place this Sunday. The origins of the race date back to 1829, when a Cambridge student sent the challenge to his old school friend at Oxford and thus the tradition was born.
The Boat Race has now become a major international sporting occasion drawing millions of viewers from around the world and 250,000 spectators to the banks of the River Thames.
The Oxford team won last year, but Cambridge currently lead the historic series 79-74. Who do you think is going to win? Tell us by voting in our poll below.
