"Oxford cox Louis Corrigan exclaimed: "What a f****** awesome day", prompting Jamie Lang to apologize to viewers, followed by Clare Balding's on-air apology."
"Later, during the post-race interview after Cambridge's win, the words 'Let's f***ing go' could be heard in the background, leading to another apology from Balding."
"Oxford's women delivered a standout performance, defeating Cambridge by a five-length margin, ending a nine-year losing streak."
"Cambridge's men continued their winning streak, securing their fourth consecutive victory with a four-length margin, leading the historical series overall."
Channel 4 faced backlash for inappropriate language during its coverage of the Boat Race. Clare Balding and Jamie Lang issued apologies after Oxford cox Louis Corrigan swore on-air celebrating the women's victory. The broadcast also captured another instance of swearing during a post-race interview after Cambridge's men's win. Oxford's women ended a nine-year losing streak against Cambridge, while Cambridge's men secured their fourth consecutive victory. The historical series began in 1829 and has become an annual event since 1856.
