The crews for this year's Boat Race - which will be screened live on ITV1 - have been announced.
Five Olympians are included in the Oxford team, making them the favourites on paper.
But Cambridge coach Chris Nilsson, who took charge of New Zealand's Olympic squad in Beijing, said: "We're up against a much stronger boat. But I still believe we can win."
Oxford coach Sean Bowden said: "I believe we have one of the strongest Oxford crews in years.
"We have a technically strong and experienced crew but we still recognise the challenge that Cambridge represent."
