"The first Henley regatta was held in 1839, and has taken place every year since, except during the 2 world wars" And for the first time ever not held out of war times; 2020 :(
The chucking the cox in when you win is the highlight of any regatta
boring then
I need to go there somedayyyy
He's only shown you the expensive end go down past the enclosures its free plus you have the barn too just above Temple Island take a lunch and put your wine or beer to chill in the river fantastic day out
And then there's the almighty parties at night

Their relationship in a nutshell, I imagine.

No vaginas allowed.
Lmao when my team can’t even carry our body correctly

It's so..... white
Why make it about race?
Whilst that is a valid observation, it is not by any act of 'selection', other than enough affluence to do something ridiculously challenging for love, not money. State schools occasionally row, like featured Windsor boys... o k, affluent state school.... sorry.
That inbuilt bias cannot be easily reversed, because the actual sport requires more graft than a slave or navvy, for virtually no financial return on that effort. To have an involvement in the sport, someone in the family has to suffer for this their mad sport, but it is open to all: Mohammed Sbihii is a top GB multi-gold medal olympic rower.
See too the colour of the key person in the Gold Medal winning South African Lightweight Four final in the 2012 London Olympics on youtube to see that there is fundamentally no discrimination, oh, and that it is hard work.
Virtually every nation rows, but yes, 'certain typical nations and families' have more history and experience.
@@matthewhackett1710 My introduction to the sport was as a schoolboy at Royal College, Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) around 1955/6. The principal, Mr. Dudley de Silva, encouraged us. The Colombo Rowing Club (CRC) (Captain: Mr. Geach) kindly permitted us to use their boats and facilities on the Beira Lake. In due course, we graduated to full membership of the CRC (I was Hony. Secretary for a short spell). The main annual event was the fours race against the Madras Boat Club. (My name appears on the boards as coxing a winning CRC boat.) Some claim that the Colombo-Madras annual fixture is only second to the Oxford-Cambridge Race. When I went up to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, I coxed Emmanuel fours in all my three years (1958 to 1961). (I also sculled for pleasure and exercise.) One year I was invited to cox the Cambridge City four at the Reading Regatta. I was a spectator at Henley Royal Regatta in 1960. I have also been a member (and coxed for pleasure) of the Karachi Boat Club for six months in 1963 and coxed for pleasure a four of a Rowing Club in Holland. (Coxing was very different under the conditions offered in the various courses, e.g. the Beira Lake and the River Cam.)
Yaseen, see Rohan's added comment: above: not 'white', specifically, at all by design. It is white in Europe only by "accident" of its past, not a result of its present manner.
More, the population of rowers is selected by requirement of "committed", and typically intellectual, and that is irrelevant of skin colour/pigmentation.
@@wesakmal That is an amazing life story, with another perspective from around the world, and very relevant to Yaseen's point on "skin colour". Did Rowing play a part in taking you from Ceylon to Cambridge?
So often, rowers are inspired to study hard to get to certain objective places, be it Oxbridge, or Harvard / Yale. That often defines those "messing about on the water" at Henley as different to those partying on the land.
There is a world of difference between the two populations, "rowers+coxes", and "spectators".
