Team New Zealand have been robbed victory in the the 34th edition of the America’s Cup.
They were leading the 12th race of the series by over 1km when the race as abandoned due to the race not been finished with 40minutes. The Kiwi boat was just meters from the finish line.
The wind today was the lightest we have seen in the competition and the Kiwi boat was much better than the American boat in the lighter conditions.
To make matters worse Oracle then went on to win the final race of the day.
That makes  the current score  8-3 to Team New Zealand.
The America’s Cup is the oldest active trophy in international sport and Team New Zealand is attempting to become the first team outside of America to win it twice.
