Team New Zealand win race five of America's Cup

Thursday, September 12 2013 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Emirates Team New Zealand won Race 5 of the 34th America's Cup on Tuesday (10 September) in convincing fashion.

    Script:

    Emirates Team New Zealand beat defending champion Oracle Team USA in Race 5 of the America's Cup on Tuesday.

    The New Zealanders took advantage of a tactical mistake by Oracle Team USA to finish 1 minute, 5 seconds ahead of the American boat

    Not long before the scheduled start of Race 6, Oracle Team USA played its one postponement card of the regatta, meaning the race was delayed until Thursday.

    In winning race 5, the Kiwis crushed the momentum Oracle gained with its heart-stopping win in Race 4 on Sunday.

    Oracle had previously been docked two points by an international jury in the biggest cheating scandal in the 162-year history of the America's Cup.

    Skipper Jimmy Spithill said Oracle Team USA needs to regroup and make some changes.
