BMW Oracle claim America’s Cup triumph

BMW Oracle won the America’s Cup as victory in Sunday’s second race off Valencia against Swiss holders Alinghi gave them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the best-of-three series.

The victory means the Golden Gate Yacht Club of San Francisco will now defend the America’s Cup in the 34th staging of an event which dates back to 1851.
