There will be no spectators, but 'behind closed doors' seems an inappropriate expression in this context! Mdrb55 ( talk) 19:43, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Seems rather oxymoronic. Unique is an absolute term. Are we sure Sullivan didn't say "uniquely fantastic," which clearly would make more sense. – Sca ( talk) 15:31, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

It was the first time in the history of the event that both the women's and men's races were officiated by female umpires, in Judith Packer and Sarah Winckless respectively.Delete "in".
The reserve races are to be held at a later date in Ely.Sudden tense switch to present is disconcerting. Suggest wording similar to that in the body, which does not state that they are to be held in Ely.
The organisers noted that the move to Ely was not only due to COVID-19, but also safety concerns relating to Hammersmith Bridge.I'm inferring that the Ely course is easier to close off? Do we know what the issue was with the Hammersmith Bridge?
an unofficial wartime staging of the eventDoes this mean it doesn't count?
The event was described as being "overshadowed" after allegation of sexual assaultWhat were these allegations? Who was assaulted? (Should it be "an" allegation?)
the women's crews intended to wear ribbons, to signify support for sexual assault victimsDid they?
the trials took place on the Great Ouse behind closed doorsI'm having a lot of trouble imagining that. (Send for Sir Bernard Woolley.)
Because of restrictions imposed by the universityare we talking about restrictions related to COVID-19?
As a result of changes to the UK's COVID-19 tier system, neither Winckless nor Packer were able to travel to Ely and both of Oxford's trial races were umpired by Kath Finucane, the reserve race official.What's the COVID-19 tier system, what were the changes to it, and most importantly, who umpired the Cambridge trials? Also: the Men's trials section says that Winckless did officiate.
The Cambridge women were considered strong favourites to win their race while Oxford's men were favoured to win.Are the bookmaker odds published? Any reason why these teams were favoured?
Conditions on race day were reasonably clement with a temperature of 16 °C (61 °F), clear skies but windyDo we know the wind speed/direction?
