Presenter Jamie Laing was left embarrassed after incorrectly declaring that victors Cambridge had LOST the 2026 males’s Boat Race. Cambridge secured their fourth consecutive triumph on Saturday, because the Gentle Blues surged forward to win by 11.02 seconds.

Nevertheless, Laing, who was fronting Channel 4’s broadcast alongside Clare Balding, grew to become muddled by a ‘typo’ when revealing this yr’s victors and vanquished. “Commiserations go to the dropping crew, Cambridge College Boat Membership,” Laing acknowledged earlier than listening to murmurs from the spectators.

Oxford girls’s chief coach, Allan French, added: “I’m so immensely happy with what they’ve accomplished in the present day. That is years within the making. They put their life and soul into it.”
