The overwhelming victory of the defiant Emirates Team New Zealand over the U.S. Oracle Team, a defender of the title, for 7-1 at the final of the 35th American Cup that ended in Hamilton, Bermuda, on Monday has represented the triumph of the younger team and has revolutionized the world candle. It is its third title after those conquered in 1995 and 2000. He has therefore recovered the coveted Jarra of the Hundred Guinean 17 years after his last success.

A strong result that has not given the Defender a choice to hold the Jarra de las 100 Guineas when he won it to Alinghi at the 33 Copa América held in Valencia, in an express edition, after a long judicial process. Team New Zealand has been the great dominator of the competition, and although the initial Round Robin won it Oracle Team USA, which allowed him to go out in the American Cup with an extra point, this was not enough to stand up to the team patronized by Peter Burling, who first put a 3-or on the score, to move to the 4-1 giving a thread of hope for the Americans, but who has ended up pulling the 7-1.

Now Team New Zealand will be in charge of setting the new rules along with the next Challenger of the Record, but it is certain that the American Cup will no longer be auctioned around the world as Alinghi and Oracle did in their day and will return to the original country of the champion, and in particular to Auckland, the city of the candles.

25 / 06 / 2017: Emirates Team New Zealand is placed only one point to recover the American Cup

The Jarra de las 100 Guineas is at the door of returning to New Zealand on Monday. The Emirates Team New Zealand is just one point away from the milestone of taking away the American Cup, which has been in the hands of Oracle Team USA since 2010.

Team New Zealand patronized by Peter Burling again won the two meetings before Jimmy Spihill's Oracle, leaving the only American victory in this American Cup, in mere anecdote, as the kiwis have placed a 6-1 on the score, thus the three-year-old American dating back to San Francisco, who won eight consecutive matchs, on this occasion seems like a utopia.

Yesterday's two trials had no greater history, it was a foothold of the other Kiwis triumphs, going out ahead on the two exits and then running and running, gaining more and more meters over the Defender, looking powerless how his rival was moving away and consequently the American Cup.

24 / 06 / 2017: The Copa América gets excited again after winning a US victory

The extreme pressure on Jimmy Spihill and his "Oracle Team USA," has caused the Americans to achieve their first victory in the America Cup as the "New Zealand Team" and bring to the world's most important nautical competition hope in the form of show and emotion... "Oracle" has made it very clear is this sixth race that wants to remount and that it will not make it easy for its rivals, which despite everything they dominate in the score by 4-1.

We had forgotten a way out as much as this match. The two ships carried out a majestic and equal exit, taking the command soon "Oracle" that overtook the "kiwis..." consolidating Spithill's advantage in the third door: 12 seconds. However, when everything seemed clear to the Americans, they made a mistake, and those of Burling shortened distances, reaching "Oracle" first at the fifth door, achieving its advantage to the end, crossing the arrival line with 11 seconds of advance over the still leaders of the American Cup: the "New Zealand Team."

24 / 06 / 2017: Copa América: New Zealand achieves the 4-0 and the discouragement makes mella in the US

Things are getting more and more complicated for the United States in the American Cup, as in the fifth race the "kiwis" achieved a new victory, which puts the score in a net of 4-0, just three wins for the "New Zealand Team" to take away the world's most important and oldest nautical trophy. Jimmy Spithill's "oracle" started his fifth match in the worst possible way, as he was leaving and granted a substantial advantage to his southern rivals. However at door 2 they managed to get ahead of themselves surprisingly... but just when the Americans had managed to reassemble they were penalized by the judges after the crossing, passing "New Zealand" to master the race... at the end new victory for the "kiwis" for more than a minute, and up the 4-0 to the score.

"New Zealand" is seen closer to the victory, after having endorsed the Americans of the "Oracle" four consecutive points, which have not only managed to cancel the first point of the Americans... but to leave the simultaneous in a roundabout and clear 3-0... but the eye that Spithill's can not be given a second of breath and by programming the Match have had not a second, but several days... so the distrust of the people of Oceania is supine and will not be calm until they can see that "Oracle" is still faster. Just a few minutes to start the races and the tension is maximum in Bermuda.

18 / 06 / 2017: Team New Zealand puts the 3-0 on the score and Oracle against the strings

Very uphill things have been put to Oracle Team USA by Jimmy Spihill after Emirates Team New Zealand with Peter Burling to the controls, he will win two more match and place the 3-0 on the American Cup marker. The first one to seven wins will take the Jarra of the Hundred Guinean. Oracle must appeal to the epic to turn the marker, as it had to do in the 2014 edition, in which he had to remount an 8-1. Now the Americans have five days to invent something to turn the marker that has been very complicated.

The first match of the second day was to be used to recalibrate the real situation of both teams, but soon the superiority of Team New Zealand was redemonstrated, which after a first more equal stretch than in the opening day, soon New Zealanders began to mark ground and to open a gap. Even so the first step by barlovento the difference between Team New Zealand and Oracle did not reach ten seconds, but in the next stretch the kiwis began to break into more than 700 meters without leaving a single option to the rival, putting the 2-0 on the score with a great solvency.

The second sleeve, fourth of the global, was more of the same. Team New Zealand ahead from the same exit and triumphant walk through the Bermuda race field. Burling's always controlling the position and Oracle, who for the first time in this Cup America introduced two changes in their grinders between one sleeve and another, did not find the solution there either. Just see his rival as he was distancing and crossing the line of arrival with more than a minute of difference, in particular 1: 12, the largest so far.

Oracle and Team New Zealand will return to the competition next Saturday with match 5 and 6. Before the 20th and 21st days, the Youth America's Cup will be held with the participation of the Spanish Impulse by Iberostar by Catalan Jordi Xammar.

"New Zealand Team" has been placed ahead of the American Cup score, which was starting with 0-1 in favor of "Oracle Team USA" for its victory in the initial rounds of the Louis Vuitton Cup, after being imposed on the first two match this afternoon... the rematch operation of the New Zealand by Peter Buirling is already in progress with the simultaneous marking of a New Zealand 1-Oracle 0 (by eliminating the negative point that it had on the Americans), let us remember that the first one that reached 7 victory will have won the "race of America,"

Jimmy Spihill in charge of the "Oracle Team USA" had the worst in the defense of the "Cup," because in the match one was penalized only to comment on the race that opened the competition... the situation was taken full advantage of by Peter Buirling's "kiwis" that took comfortable and wide margin: 01.52... however two errors in the "New Zealand" maneuver gave certain possibilities to the Americans, who came close but not enough. In the end, the southern victory for 00.30, in the opening race that overturned Oracle's point of advantage for his performance at the Louis Vuitton.

The second race of the day was treatially competitive with an Oracle that tightened a lot, to the point that in the equator of the match there was only a little difference between the two AC50 a small 00.03, but in the end Peter Buirling's took off from the Americans by winning them again by 0.38. This gets warm, warm... because Jimmy Spitihill's are not rivals who settle for going below on the score. The fight has only started in Hamilton
