James Cracknell, the two-time Olympic champion, could become the oldest ever Boat Race competitor when the crews are named on Thursday

The 46-year-old is set to be named in the Cambridge boat for the race despite having retired from elite rowing in 2006 after winning gold medals at Sydney in 2000 and Athens in 2004. He qualifies for the boat because he is studying a masters degree in human evolution at the university.
