A crowd of some 50,000 people flocked to the shores of San
Francisco Bay to take in the 34th America’s Cup and were treated to heart-stopping
action between defender ORACLE TEAM USA and challenger Emirates Team New Zealand.
Only one race was held today, but tonight fans of the
defender see a chance for a comeback after a 52-second victory in Race 8. Fans
of the challenger are thankful their AC72 is still upright and in one piece,
safely tucked back in the team base after a near capsize on the upwind leg.
