Rowing - No twin Boat Race head to head but King loyalties still divided


MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Identical twins Gemma and Catherine King had been poised to race against each other for the first time in Saturday's University Boat Race and although that is no longer happening, it will still be a weekend of divided loyalties for their family.

Catherine's back injury means she will not be in the Oxford boat in the elite women's race taking on Gemma in the Cambridge crew but the former will represent her new university in the reserve race.
