Generally speaking, students majoring in liberal arts have more leisure time, so it is no problem to spend a lot of time training. For example, eight rowers in Cambridge this year, and four are doctoral students in the Department of Land Economics. The Olympic gold medal winner who participated in four competitions or won three championships in Oxford studied classical literature. Science and engineering students may not have enough leisure time to participate in intensive training in schools. Oxford has a good liberal arts, and Cambridge University of Science and Technology has a higher proportion of students. Relatively speaking, there are fewer people who can bear the double pressure of school rowing training and study.

Although there is Jian River in Cambridge, the river is narrow, so the rowing training in the college is crowded enough. So the school rowing team takes a bus for half an hour every day and trains on the wide river in Yili Town in the northeast. In this way, once a day, an hour passed. Six months, nearly eight days! The river near Oxford is the Thames, and the water surface is very wide, so the Oxford school team doesn't have to travel long distances every day.

The competition is in the Thames, and the Oxford school team trains in the Thames every day, which has the advantage of the main river.

The role of rowing strength between the two schools is discontinuous, because rowers from all over the world come here to study for degrees in rowing (to be honest, the first thing that comes to mind for those who spend six or seven months rowing in a nine-month project is very low, such as the twins who filed a lawsuit with Zuckerberg to go to Oxford to study for an mba, and lost), so the strength of the two schools is quite random every year. If we can recruit strong students, it may be that year. Doesn't mean Oxford is better than Cambridge. Ps, the annual UCL KCL Novice Seven-Tearing War will start again later today, although it is not in top boat this time.
