HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England (Reuters) - The river running through the Oxfordshire town of Henley-on-Thames was heaving with boats, oars and athletes this past weekend, but it was not, as might be imagined, the storied Henley Royal Regatta.

That 178-year-old event - known for its blazers, boaters and boozing - comes 10 days from now. The splash and sparkle along the river this time was from the Henley Women's Regatta.
