"Ainslie, the four-time Olympic gold medal-winning sailor, will now seek to wrestle the Auld Mug from the New Zealanders in the America's Cup from 12 October, again in Barcelona."
"It's a big moment isn't it? There's a lot of pressure on these organisations, a huge amount of investment in time and money, and you want to make it right, you want to make it count."
