Quote:
The 158th Boat Race had to be halted midway through because of a swimmer in the River Thames.
The Oxford and Cambridge boats were side by side after eight minutes when the sight of a man in the river ahead of them forced them to stop.
It was decided the two boats would return to Chiswick Bridge to restart from a straight section of river.

I wonder if he was actually committing a crime, i.e. deliberately causing an obstruction, or just got in the way .....
