 * Symbol delete vote.svg Sorry, I recall this being on the Main Page over at ITN - funnily enough at the same time when another Boat Race was at TFA. Once it's been on the Main Page it no longer qualifies for DYK. Fuebaey (talk) 17:01, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Addendum: That hook is pretty poor, as far as I'm aware the Boat Races are annually held on the Thames. A bit like saying you'd eat burgers at a burger joint. The fact that the women ran the same course as the men for the first time didn't occur at all? Fuebaey (talk) 17:15, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
