Great Britain's rowers participated in a Henley Regatta with a twist yesterday (July 7), signing up to form the Monsters University Rowing Team.
The race coincided with the release of Disney/Pixar's new movie which reunites Monsters, Inc duo Mike and Sulley after more than 10 years away from the big screen.
Zac Purchase, Mark Hunter, Chris Bartley and Adam Freeman-Pask were enlisted by James Cracknell to race against Oxford University Lightweight Rowing Club.
Oxford won the hotly-contested Boat Race earlier this year, but it was the Monsters University Team Gb foursome that came out on top in yesterday's special contest.
Cracknell said: "It's been a year since the public have really been able to get behind Team Gb so it's been great to get the boys together again on the water and race. Commiserations to the lads from Oxford and thanks for the race, it's a good job we won.
