America's Cup - Sir Ben Ainslie Inspires Comeback of the Year

 
Sir Ben Ainslie inspires one of the greatest comebacks in world sport.
In only the third time in the regatta's 162-year history, the competition was decided by a winner takes all final in what was to prove to be one of the most thrilling and unexpected events in world sport.
Oracle Team USA came close to defeat early on, going down 1-8 to New Zealand, the pre-Cup favourites, after being docked two points before the contest even began, but the holders won eight straight races to triumph 9-8 in a thrilling climax to the event.
