If you’ve been following the Prada Cup, you may be wondering if American Magic is still in the running. As of January 22nd, the answer is yes, but it hasn’t been an easy road for them.
American Magic started off strong in the Prada Cup Round Robins, winning their first race against INEOS Team UK. However, things took a turn for the worse in their second race when they capsized and suffered significant damage to their boat.
The team worked tirelessly to repair their boat and get back on the water as quickly as possible. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions and logistical challenges, they were forced to sit out of the Round Robins for several races.
During this time, their competitors continued to compete and gain valuable experience on the water. As a result, American Magic found themselves at a disadvantage heading into the semifinals.
In their first semifinal race against INEOS Team UK, American Magic struggled and ultimately lost by a significant margin. However, they bounced back in their second race with an impressive win over Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.
Despite this win, American Magic still has a long road ahead of them if they want to make it to the final round of the Prada Cup. They will need to win two more races against Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli in order to advance.
It’s important to note that while American Magic has faced challenges throughout this competition, they are still a formidable team with talented sailors and advanced technology. Anything can happen in sailing, and it’s not over until it’s over.
So while it may be an uphill battle for American Magic at this point in the Prada Cup, they are still very much in contention. Fans will have to stay tuned to see if they can pull off another upset and advance to the final round.
