Notes

• Wed 28 Feb – Sat 3 March 2001
• Due to a high stream, only the Senior Divisions raced on the first day, with the remaining fixed division crews included from Thursday onwards.
• Since training throughout the term had been seriously restricted by flooding, captains were given the option of scratching crews without any loss of position in next year's starting order. Hence only partly complete lowest divisions and discontinuities in the starting order compared to previous and next years.
• Most notably, the women's Head crew Osler-Green did not enter this year, leaving New College to start at Head.

• The Times just lists each day's bumps

• The Daily Telegraph Thu 1 March

  Oriel deposed Pembroke, head of the men's divisions, on the first day of drastically curtailed Oxford Torpids. New College's brief enjoyment of a similar status among the women's crews was forcefully terminated by St Catherine's.

  A slight decrease in stream speed suggests that more crews will have the opportunity to race today.

• The Daily Telegraph Sat 3 March

  Oriel and Pembroke gave their customary display of proficient rowing at the head of the first six men's boats on the third day of Oxford Torpids. The crews were equally spaced as they passed Long Bridges and able to stride out in an orderly, bump-free race.

  Behind them Brasenose hit the bank and let Lincoln row past, while St Catherine's managed a third bump and show sign of easing up.

• The Daily Telegraph Mon 5 March

  St Catherine's caught Magdalen in the last stages of the Oxford Torpids. The bump earned the college men's crew a celebration to match their sister boat who finished head in the women's divisions. A fifth bump for Merton women took them up to third behind New College.

• Review from the 2001 Eights Programme, by Luke Finch

  Following the disappointment of last year's cancellation, all eyes were on Oriel to see whether they could regain the Headship from Pembroke. This they did in imperious style, bumping on the Wednesday opposite the OUBC pontoon. The next three days saw Oriel row Head many lengths clear of Pembroke. They remain the class act on the Isis.

  Other movers in Men's Division One were New who fell two, being bumped by Exeter and Christ Church, while St Catz won blades, rising four places. Merton fell a whole division and Balliol was another big disappointment, dropping out of Men's Division Two.

  St Catz bumped to Head in the Women's Division, knocking New down one in the process. Merton were another big riser, winning blades to end third on the river. Oriel women went some way to repeat the success of their men, rising seven [five?] places, while Trinity plummeted, and will be keen to reverse this fall come Eights.
