Facebook-lawsuit twins make blues rowers

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, two twins that sued the founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, are part of Oxford’s squad for the 2010 Boat Race.

The twins, 28, are both members of Christ Church college and studying towards MBAs at Oxford’s Saïd Business School. This is a far cry from their performance at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where they advanced all the way to the pairs’ final.

Sjoerd Hamburger, now president of the Blues, is very positive about the inclusion of the twins, asserting confidently that “they were not Olympic rowers for nothing.”

The boat race will take place on 3rd April 2010 and it will be aired on the BBC after a six-year absence.
