The man who disrupted this year's Boat Race by swimming into the path of crews on the Thames has been jailed for six months.
Trenton Oldfield, of Myrdle Street, east London, was watched by millions of television viewers as he halted the annual race between Oxford and Cambridge universities on April 7.
He was convicted at Isleworth Crown Court last month of causing a public nuisance.
Oldfield, supported in court by a throng of well-wishers, smirked as Judge Anne Molyneux passed sentence.
Oldfield acted dangerously and showed prejudice, the judge said But he looked surprised as the jail term was handed down.
The judge said Oldfield had acted dangerously, disproportionately, had not shown what he was actually protesting against, and displayed prejudice in sabotaging the event which Oldfield regarded as elitist.
