Torpids es una de las dos series de carreras de golpes , un tipo de carrera de remo , que se lleva a cabo anualmente en la Universidad de Oxford ; la otra es la Semana de los Ochos . ^[2] Más de 130 equipos masculinos y femeninos compiten por sus universidades en seis divisiones masculinas y cinco femeninas; casi 1.200 participantes en total. La carrera tiene lugar en el Isis (parte del río Támesis ), generalmente en la séptima semana de Hilary Term en cuatro días consecutivos de miércoles a sábado (a principios de marzo).

Resumen [ editar ]

Las carreras de golpes evolucionaron en Oxford ya que el río es demasiado estrecho para las carreras normales de lado a lado. Las tripulaciones que compiten comienzan la carrera alineadas en orden, una detrás de la otra, con sus timones sujetando cuerdas atadas a la orilla, con espacios de aproximadamente 1,5 de eslora entre la proa de una embarcación y la popa de la que está delante. La carrera se inicia con el disparo de un cañón. ^{[ cita requerida ]}

Crews attempt to progress up their division by hitting ('bumping') the boat in front without being hit by the boat behind, with the ultimate aim of becoming "Head Of The River" i.e. top of the first division. The Head of the River is awarded the Torpids Challenge Cup, presented to the OUBC by President T.C. Edwards-Moss of Brasenose College Boat Club. Once a bump has taken place, the crew whose boat was hit has to continue racing (and is liable to be bumped again) whilst the bumping crew moves to the side. This can lead to a crew moving down several places during a day's racing. This is the principal difference in the rules between Torpids and Summer Eights, where both crews stop racing.^{[citation needed]}

The name 'Torpids' derives from the event's origins as a race for the second boats of the colleges, which were of course slower than the first boats. The status of the event - still adjudged below that of Summer Eights on account of the absence of varsity oarsmen and women - only began to rise at the very end of the nineteenth century, when colleges began to form first boats to compete. Nowadays there is no limit on the number of boats a college may enter, although crews in the last two divisions and crews without a position have to qualify to race by competing in a timed race the preceding Friday, known as 'rowing on'.^{[citation needed]}

Los atletas que compiten en ese año de Regata , Regata de las mujeres o de cualquiera de los equipos de la Universidad de peso ligero en Henley regatas no pueden competir en Torpids, pero pueden competir en Ochos de verano . ^{[ cita requerida ]}

Cabecera doble [ editar ]

Las tripulaciones de los Ochos masculinos y femeninos de Oriel, ganadoras del doble título en 2006.

El 'Double Headship' es un galardón otorgado a cualquier universidad que finalice con sus equipos masculinos y femeninos en el 'Head of the River'. ^{[ citación necesitada ]} Oriel College es la única universidad que ha logrado un doble liderazgo en Torpids, con equipos de hombres y mujeres en Head of the River tanto en 2006 como en 2018. ^[3]

Trofeos [ editar ]

El orden de salida del primer día se basa en las posiciones finales del año anterior, y el orden de salida de cada día subsiguiente se basa en las posiciones finales del día anterior. Una tripulación que avanza todos los días sin ser golpeada o que termina en la cabecera del río recibe espadas : el derecho a pintar remos de trofeo con los colores de la universidad con los nombres y pesos de la tripulación exitosa estampados en ellos. Las cucharas se otorgan en caso de que la tripulación haya sido golpeada todos los días. Una tercera posibilidad algo inusual es la concesión de espadas.. The crew is both bumped and then proceeds to bump a crew in front of it before the end of the race. Thus being both the bumper and the bumped on the same day. Due to the differences in rules between Torpids and Lent Bumps at the University of Cambridge this achievement is only possible at Oxford.^{[citation needed]}
