Sailing: America’s Cup goes to New Zealand again
"Auld Mug", the oldest sports trophy in the world, remains in New Zealand's possession. Team New Zealand skippered by Peter Burling won the ninth America's Cup sailing race off Barcelona on Saturday and defended the title with an overall score of 7:2 against the challengers from the Britannia syndicate led by Ben Ainslie.

Burling's crew were faster than the British from the start of the week and had built up a 4-0 lead. A setback only occurred on Wednesday, when Ainslie and Co. were able to reduce the deficit to 2:4. On Friday and Saturday, however, the favorites struck back with three race wins, and the last race was also a clear affair for the defending champions in the end.
