America’s Cup: New Zealand also wins fourth race
Team New Zealand took the next step towards successfully defending their America's Cup title on Monday. Peter Burling's crew also won the fourth race off Barcelona against the British boat skippered by Ben Ainslie. The day had started quite hopefully for the underdog before the 0:4.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The New Zealanders were still in contention on the first two of the six legs, but flexed their muscles after the second tack. First they pulled away slightly, then more and more clearly and crossed the finish line with a clear lead of 23 seconds.
The historic first British triumph in 173 years thus receded further into the distance. Burling and his colleagues need three more victories to secure the oldest trophy in the sporting world for the third time in a row. The next two races are scheduled for Wednesday.
