Sailing - America's Cup semi-finals becalmed as racing postponed - Other Sports


(Reuters) - Racing in the semi-final stage of the America's Cup was postponed on Sunday due to insufficient wind, with organisers saying the prospects of it increasing were slim. "They (racing prospects) are not great at the moment. For racing to go ahead, the America's Cup rules require a minimum average wind of 6 knots (11 kilometres per hour). "The pressure is on them (New Zealand), they are the in-form team," Ainslie said in a televised interview. On Saturday, Oracle Team USA won the Louis Vuitton America's Cup qualifier event in Bermuda, beating Emirates Team New Zealand and giving the U.S. holders a bonus point for the final.
