Victory Challenge keep their hopes alive

Today started with Sweden's Victory Challenge having to win their three remaining races and Spain's Desafio Espanol having to loose all theirs in order that Victory Challenge could take the 4th and last remining semi final place in the Louis Vuitton Cup. It can still happen, this afternoon in ideal racing conditions (sunshine and a 12 knot breeze), Victory Challenge beat Desafio Espanol by seven seconds in one of the closest races so far. Desafio Espanol still need to face BMW Oracle and Emirates Team New Zealand (the two strongest teams) in their last two races. The 4th place could well go down to the wire.
