Twins who sued Facebook named in Oxford Boat Race crew

The American twins who sued the founder of Facebook have been confirmed in the Oxford crew for this year's Boat Race.

Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss claimed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, a fellow Harvard University student, stole ideas from their site.

The parties reached a confidential settlement agreement in February 2008.

The duo, 28, went on to reach the Olympic pairs final in Beijing later that year and are now part of the final Oxford crew for the race on 3 April.

The last twins to compete were Mark and Mike Evans, who rowed in the winning Oxford crews of 1983 and 1984. Hugh and Robert Clay also won with Oxford in 1982.

Cambridge are aiming to win for the first time in three years.

Full crew line-ups to follow.
