American sailboat racing group Oracle Team USA has defeated their Kiwi counterparts Emirates Team New Zealand to win the 34th America's Cup on Wednesday in San Francisco.
According to Fox News, Oracle removed an 8-1 deficit in the best of a 17-race regatta to win the longest America's Cup ever.
Earlier, the US team had overtaken Team New Zealand on Tuesday to win their seventh straight race and even the finale in the America's Cup.
Oracle, which was almost defeated a week ago, had tied 8-8 with New Zealand on the scoreboard by winning its tenth race overall, although it was penalised two points for illegally modifying boats in warm-up regattas.
