Parish brothers to race in 2023 Boat Race

Brothers Ollie and Jasper Parish will race for Cambridge in the 2023 Boat Race, that takes place on Sunday, 26 March.

Oxford triumphed in the men's race last year for the first time since 2017, but can they do it again?

You can watch both races live on BBC One, iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.

The 77th women's race will commence at 16:00 BST and the 168th men's at 17:00.

The annual event returned to the River Thames last year, after being cancelled in 2020 and taking place without spectators on the Great Ouse in Ely because of coronavirus restrictions in 2021.

Cambridge women claimed their fifth successive victory by also setting a record time of 18 minutes and 23 seconds last, 10 seconds faster than their previous recorded time from 2017.

Who's racing?

The men's boats feature rowers from Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, France, Taiwan and Switzerland.

Ollie Parish, a world junior champion for Great Britain, will make his third consecutive race start for Cambridge, with a new crew that includes four-time French champion Noam Mouelle.

Oxford's eight includes two-time U23 European Championship medallist James Doran and Australia's Anna O'Hanlon, who will be the men's cox.

Former Cambridge student Tara Slade, who has made the switch to dark blue upon undertaking medicine at the University of Oxford, will race alongside astronomer Laurel Kaye, who is in bow, in the women's race.

Ireland's Caoimhe Dempsey is the only athlete to race for Cambridge from last year's record-breaking team.
