The annual Oxford versus Cambridge Boat Race, took place in a different form this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The race, which has taken place every year on a 6.8 kilometer course along London's River Thames since 1856, was this year forced to be held virtually as a result of social-distancing measures. 

Each University had eight members, who all used their own rowing machines at home, raising money for Power2Inspire, a charity pushing for inclusivity in sport.

Each team rowed the distance, competing on ergometers, which added the scores of each crew member together to get a full team score. 

Within Oxford's ranks was three-time Olympic champion Pete Reed, who was paralyzed from the chest down after suffering a spinal stroke in 2019, as well as Paralympic champion Grace Clough and World champion Oliver Cook.

While their Cambridge counterparts were bolstered by former Olympic champion Tom Ransley.

After a hard-fought race, the Cambridge crew came out on top, winning for the third year in a row, if you include the last two traditional races.
