WE WON!!!!
WE WON!!!!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Greatest comeback in the history of sports!!!
Never seen anyone come back from behind like this and take it all!!!
The official score is Oracle 9-8 but, the real story is they won by 3!!!
After being penalized by two races Oracle’s actual win is 11-8!!!
And! They scored a new world record for completing the race today.
Just Amazing!!!
In 1964 I was learning to steer{?) a friend’s boat in Edgartown Harbor and almost ran into an America’s Cup vessel that was moored there. They were visiting.
I quit my boating life that day.
.
the 34-year-old Australian and his international crew
Ellison and his team led by New Zealander Russell Coutts, who was responsible for the Kiwi's Cup victories in 1995 and 2000, developed a new type of sailing event featuring the super-fast boats, state-of-the-art television coverage and scenic viewing areas along San Francisco Bay, all aimed at making sailing appealing to a wide audience.
It replaced its tactician with Olympic champion Ben Ainslie, made changes to its boat that gave it more upwind speed and showed vastly improved tacking and teamwork as the racing progressed.
NO WE DIDN’T.
AN AUSSIE SKIPPER WITH 13 OTHER FOREIGNERS PLUS ONE TOKEN AMERICAN WON.
This competition will never be real until they return to the boats ( hopefully real boats, not video game escapees) and the crews being from the country they supposedly represent.
That being said, it was an incredible never say die feat by a thoroughly professional crew. Congratulations.
I just wish it had been a victory for USA too.
1-—I will put last year’s Miracle at Medinah against this anyday. From 10-4 down on Saturday night to 14.5 by Sunday night. Europe’s golfers needed to win EVERY singles match, in front of a vocal US crowd. And they did. The greatest golf/RC comeback of all time and as great as this.
2—Greatest comeback in sports?. By which you will mean American sports, as like 95+% of Americans, with all due respect, you don’t know anything about soccer or rugby or cricket or other major non-North American sports and your knowledge of greatest comebacks is limited to US gridiron, ice hockey, baseball and basketball.
