Thankfully, it was confirmed that Edge is OK, but he will now be taken for medical evaluation.

BBC pundit and former Cambridge rower Imogen Grant said on the moment: "That was scary stuff to see, just so spent going over the line. They said, ‘loose, sit up, breathe’.
"Everybody said Oxford was the favourites, but Rob Baker has done a fantastic job with crews. I don’t think I’ve seen a winning crew look that spent at the finish line."
Edge is completing a PhD in chemistry at Cambridge and has now won back to back boat races.
He previously studied Natural Sciences before specialising in chemistry.
