**"We’ve Got Nothing to Lose": Ainslie Gears Up to Challenge Sailing's All Blacks** British sailor Ben Ainslie is gearing up for the ultimate test of his career as he prepares to face Team New Zealand in the America’s Cup, which kicks off this Saturday in Barcelona. Ainslie acknowledges the daunting challenge ahead, admitting that his opponents are "almost" unbeatable. However, he remains optimistic about his team's chances, emphasizing their tenacity and determination to pull off an upset. “We’re the underdogs in this, without a shadow of a doubt,” Ainslie stated confidently. “They’re the clear favorites, but that’s actually a good position for us. We have everything to gain and nothing to lose. This is an incredible opportunity, and we’re going to give it our all.” Ainslie, who has secured gold medals in sailing at four consecutive Olympic Games, recognizes that achieving a first British victory in the 173-year history of the America’s Cup would eclipse even his Olympic successes. It has been 60 years since a British team last competed for the prestigious trophy, which originated in the waters around the Isle of Wight in 1851. Ainslie and his Ineos Britannia team have recently emerged from a challenging qualifying series, setting the stage for this historic moment. As the competition approaches, Ainslie's focus is clear: to seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance and make history for British sailing.
