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 .....

Yes The Punk was against Elite People.

As a Result
the race stopped and due to the Rushed ReStart
one team got Extra Lucky.


Next Year
they must Fence it Off
and if a Punk jumps in
pull him out and Taser him.

I don't get how it works, does the competition get legal rights over the whole stretch of the race.
