Aussie Stroke Annie Anezakis Breaks Curse in Boat Race

0:00Oxford's women's rowing team just broke a 10-year curse, smashing Cambridge in the boat race with Aussie powerhouse Annie and Azakis leading the charge. From Melbourne, the 27-year-old stroked the Boise in her fourth go at this legendary clash, powering through wild winds and rough-tems waters to snag. The win by 9.4 seconds, their 31st victory in 80 races. And Azakis, who once headed the Oxford boat club, learned a grit from Princeton Rose in the States and drew fire from Aussie swim queens like Stephanie, Rice, back in the day. She preached that daily grind and unbreakable will always cash out, a lesson she's carrying forward no matter what. Meanwhile, in the men's showdown, another Aussie, Alexander McLean, stroked Cambridge to a dominant 3.5-length romp, their 89th, W, and 171 tries pure down under dominance on the river.
