**Great Britain vs. New Zealand: America's Cup 2024, Races Seven and Eight – Live Updates** Team Emirates New Zealand currently leads the Ineos Britannia crew with a score of 4-2 in the America's Cup. This morning in Barcelona, the winds are coming from the north-west but are expected to calm down slightly before the races begin. The sea conditions are also set to improve, with afternoon waves anticipated to reach 0.8 meters, coming from the south at intervals of five seconds. The excitement surrounding these foil boats is palpable; when they perform well, they can reach incredible speeds, making for thrilling viewing. Today is particularly crucial for Ainslie’s crew. If they lose just one race, New Zealand will be on the brink of retaining their title. A loss in both races would effectively seal the deal for the Kiwis. There’s speculation that Sir Jim might have invited Lord Ferg to Barcelona, perhaps as a gesture of goodwill after his departure from his ambassador role with Manchester United. It’s hoped that Lord Ferg’s motivational skills could help boost the team’s performance with one of his renowned “teacup” talks. Stay tuned for updates on the wind and water conditions as the races unfold!
