 * I feel that the following addition makes the hook more compelling: ALT 1: ... that Oxford won the 4.2 mile 2003 University Boat Race by one foot, the closest result in the history of the race?, The Rambling Man, thoughts?  S ven M anguard   Wha?  06:48, 11 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I would add "by a margin of" before "one foot". Like so: ALT 2: ... that Oxford won the 4.2 mile 2003 University Boat Race by the margin of one foot, the closest result in the history of the race?  Either one, I like the ALT 1. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 06:54, 11 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Prefer Sven's without the "a margin of"... The Rambling Man (talk) 06:56, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with Sven's version. -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 09:56, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
