What has made this year’s America’s Cup truly breathtaking is the television coverage.
(click on images to enlarge)
Larry Ellison and Russell Coutts got it right. The staid old America’s Cup can be an adrenalin rush
The Cup is the oldest major trophy in sport… Pushed into a postmodern place
America’s Cup: Do you believe in miracles?
The epic battle over the past few days has been a major vindication of the vision of how to modernize the competition
A comeback for the ages
The greatest comeback in sports history
Amazing television? Check? Crowds on the waterfront? Check. Exciting racing? Check and double check
“I think about this regatta and what it means to sailing,” said Ellison. “I think it was absolutely spectacular. If a bunch of kids are inspired to go sail, I’m a happy guy.”
