Den som vill göra sig gällande i kampen om America´s Cup, världens äldsta idrottstrofé, måste naturligtvis testa gränserna. Och det gör Team Oracle.
Natten till idag gick de dock för långt i sin iver att pressa sitt foilande fartmonster i farter upp mot 45 knop.
ORACLE TEAM USA capsize – onboard footage
ORACLE TEAM USA became the first America’s Cup team to capsize during training in Bermuda on Wednesday afternoon. This is what it looked like from on board. Fortunately, no injuries and minimal damage. Skipper James Spithill: “Hopefully we don’t see too many more of these, but this is where we are as a sport where you’re always pushing to be on the limit. We’ll learn from this and move forward.” Video: Sam Greenfield / ORACLE TEAM USA
