The Boat Race
The boat race take place in London every year in the spring. lt is a rece between two teams-one from Oxford University and the other from Cambridge University. Each team has eigth rowers and a cox, the person who shouts instructions to the rowers and steers the boat. The rowers are usually very big and strong ( often about 200 centimeters tall) but the cox is usually small and light so that the boat doesn't have to carry much extra weight.
