'We're on top of the world' "We're on top of the world." Team New Zealand helmsman Peter Burling, 26 - the youngest person to win the race for the America's Cup - put it nicely after comfortably beating Oracle Team USA in the dash for the Auld Mug today.His syndicate won this morning's first race in Bermuda to give it an emphatic 7-1 win over the holders.The victory quells the nightmare of four years ago when Jimmy Spithill and his crew turned an 8-1 deficit against Team New Zealand into a 9-8 victory and a successful defence of the oldest trophy in international sport.Both catamarans started side by side on the start line today, but the Americans got to the first mark with a three second advantage over Team New Zealand.Read the rest of the story here HEREGreat day for NZ
