ON WINNING: Jimmy Spithill Recaps Oracle’s America’s Cup Comeback
By | 0 Comments
“For one reason or another this team just seemed to come together in the tough moments. When the pressure came on, that’s when this team really responded.”
A little reminder that just over a year ago, Oracle Team USA mounted one of the most amazing comebacks in sporting history, coming back from an 8-1 deficit to tie and then defeat Emirates Team New Zealand. A year later, Oracle’s skipper, 35-year-old Australian Jimmy Spithill, can remember those moments like they happened seconds ago…but he still has a hard time putting the sheer exhilaration of winning the America’s Cup into words.
