NATIONS CUP: One World Beats Victory Challenge

Trieste, 16th of June 2003. It was One World to win the race against Victory Challenge in the first day of the Nation’s Cup-La Sfida of Trieste. With an advantage of 7 seconds, the Australian James Spithill had the better of the Swede Magnus Holmberg of Victory Challenge. It was the most fought out and spectacular race as the weather conditions improved greatly in the late afternoon. The two teams fought continuously for the first place. In the last leg the Swedes were able to gain the advantage but the Americans of One World were able to close the lead and only a few meters in front of the finish line they took the advantage thus winning the race. The race took place in a nice east- north east wind which took place at 18:40.
