China's Top Universities to Re-open Rivalry in Boat Race

With a 1-1 overall tie after the first two meets, China's top universities Qinghua and Beijing will vie for the honor for the third time in their annual inter- university boat race in May.

Both sides have attached great importance to the May 26 race on the Kunyu River in the Chinese capital, with theri crews starting training under professional coaches as early as the end of last year.

The race between China's two most prestigious universities is a newcomer compared to the established annual Oxford-Cambrige Boat Race which dates from 1829.

Beijing University won the first version of the boat race while Qinghua evened the series 1-1 with their victory at last year's race.
