However, as mentioned, in close races Bucks tends to prevail.
Victories 1L or less = Blue, 1/2L or less = Silver

The % winners coming from either side has varied, but in all but three years Berks has won more than Bucks since 1999

Of the 6,000 races held at HRR since 2019, Berks has beaten Bucks 53.5% of the time. However in the 900 close races (<1 length) the ratio is reversed and Bucks has won 55% of the time

The Thursday and Friday of the 2007 regatta were the slowest since 1999, with a median finishing time each of 8:06. By contrast, finals day in 2018 was the fastest with a median finishing time of 6:36.

The slowest winning time since 1999 at @HenleyRegatta was in 2008, where MH Pauls of @ImperialBoat won a semi-final of the Princess Royal with times of 03:06, 05:23 and 11:25 to the Barrier, Fawley and the Finish respectively.
It was, of course, when @TheRealLondonRC beat Aramoho Whanganui RC of NZ by one inch in 2019 on the Wednesday of the Wyfold. Yes, one inch.

Hello fellow rowing nerds. I've assembled a DB of all HRR results based on their lovely new machine-readable API. Would anyone care to guess the closest official verdict since 1999?

Appears we spilt pimms on the keyboard so the domain name is broken. We are still live at rowingstats.herokuapp.com/ while we fix it

One further reflection: lots of people dropped out after Rio. But this is only a surface-level explanation. I haven't seen a good explanation as to why this happened. Departing athletes is a feature of every Olympic cycle. Need to apply '5 whys' thinking a bit more

And I completely agree that Josh's outburst begs a very big question: why did he get to the point where he felt that way? It suggests unacknowledged anguish which he should have been able to talk about.
I hope the former rowers acting as mentors to the squad bear that in mind.

I often find James's articles unnecessarily inflammatory or one-track. But this is thoughtful and nuanced.
I saw from the outside the tendency he mentions to remove freedoms bit by bit, as much DTanner's doing as JGrobler or PThompson.
Worth a read.

Also worth a read from @HPParenting. Lots of good points
