The Lent Bumps 2015 was a series of Sport rowing, rowing races at University of Cambridge, Cambridge University from Wednesday 25 February 2015 to Saturday 28 February 2015. The event was run as a bumps race and was the 128th set of races in the series of Lent Bumps which have been held annually in late February or early March since 1887. See Lent Bumps for the format of the races. The 2015 Lent Bumps saw CUCBC deciding to cut one division's worth of places (two thirds of the M4 division and one third of the W3 division) compared to recent years. This caused some controversy amongst the college boat clubs. Ultimately the division was not reinstated and as a result the bumps ran over only 4 days (from Wednesday to Saturday), not 5 days (from Tuesday) as in previous years. Head of the River crews men bumped on day 2, then rowed over head for the next three days to reclaim the Lents headship which they had most recently held from 2011 to 2013. women bumped up three places to cl ...

Sport Rowing
Rowing, often called crew in the United States, is the sport of racing boats using oars. It differs from paddling sports in that rowing oars (called blades in the United Kingdom) are attached to the boat using rowlocks, while paddles are not connected to the boat. Rowing is divided into two disciplines: sculling and sweep rowing. In sculling, each rower (or oarsman) holds two oars, one in each hand, while in sweep rowing each rower holds one oar with both hands. There are several boat classes in which athletes may compete, ranging from single sculls, occupied by one person, to shells with eight rowers and a coxswain, called eights. There are a wide variety of course types and formats of racing, but most elite and championship level racing is conducted on calm water courses long with several lanes marked using buoys. Modern rowing as a competitive sport can be traced to the early 17th century when professional watermen held races ( regattas) on the River Thames in Lon ...

Bumps Race
A bumps race is a form of rowing (sport), rowing race in which a number of boats chase each other in single file, each crew attempting to catch and 'bump' the boat in front without being caught by the boat behind. The form is mainly used in Colleges within universities in the United Kingdom, intercollegiate competitions at the University of Oxford since 1815, and at the University of Cambridge since 1827.''The Bumps:An Account of the Cambridge University Bumping Races 1827-1999'', John Durack, George Gilbert & Dr John Marks, 2000, Bumps racing in eights is also found in the United Hospitals Boat Club in London between the 5 London medical schools and Royal Veterinary College.

Bumps racing gives a sharper feel of immediate competition than a head race, where b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Emmanuel Rowing Blade
Immanuel or Emmanuel (, "God swith us"; Koine Greek: ) is a Hebrew name that appears in the Book of Isaiah (7:14) as a sign that God will protect the House of David. The Gospel of Matthew ( Matthew 1:22 –23) interprets this as a prophecy of the birth of the Messiah and the fulfillment of Scripture in the person of Jesus. ''Immanuel'' "God ( El) with us" is one of the "symbolic names" used by Isaiah, alongside Shearjashub, Maher-shalal-hash-baz, or Pele-joez-el-gibbor-abi-ad-sar-shalom. It has no particular meaning in Jewish messianism. In Christian theology by contrast, based on its use in Isaiah 7:14, the name has come to be read as a prophecy of the Christ, following Matthew 1:23, where ''Immanuel'' () is translated as (KJV: "God with us"), and also Luke 7:14–16 after the raising of the dead man in Nain, where it was rumoured throughout all Judaea that "God has visited his people" (KJV).
