Day 2 of the best of nine Sailing Match over the 32nd America’s Cup by Louis Vuiton brought a win of the Kiwis Emirates Team New Zealand, over the Swiss Team Alinghi.
Now we are talking! Luckily no walk over from either side yet.
In Groningen, one of the smaller Dutch cities up north in the Netherlands, the Dutch Junior (under 21) soccer team beat the Serbian team and won the European Junior Soccer Championship.
In Valencia The Swiss beat the Kiwis in the first best of nine Sailing Match over the America’s Cup with 35 seconds Delta.
Sad! This will be my last post about the 2007 Louis Vuitton Cup. We are now 1/2 hour in the fifth race. The Kiwis have won 4 races already. They only need one more win. They are approximately 100m in the lead in the second leg of this fifth race. I think it highly unlikely they will give up this winning position and so the Kiwis will be the LV Cup winners and will as challengers sail 9 races with the Swiss over the Auld Mug from June 23 through July 7.
Added June 7, 2007:
My feeling was correct.
Here the LV Cup is celebrated by the Kiwis after they walked over the Italians:
A few minutes ago Emirates team New Zealand has won the first of the best of 9 match races in the Louis Vuitton Cup Finale with a 45 m lead (only 8 seconds delta) over Italian Luna Rossa Team.
And the Italians did it! They beat the USA team another time and are now heading to the LV Cup’s finals. Egg on the face of the USA BMW Oracle team, but they take it graciously according to their Blog [that they took away since].
The America’s cup will either go to Europe again or to New Zealand!
