The inaugural America’s Cup for women was decided on Saturday between Italy and Britian
Giulia Conti wept with joy when she got back to her apartment and watched recordings of Italy ’s victory in the first Women ’s America ’s Cup , as the enormity of her crew’s win sank in.
“I’m just so happy that we’ve made an entire country proud and also the big team,” Conti said of Italy’s Luna Rossa, which also won the Youth America’s Cup last month. On Sunday, under the banner “Winds of Change,” Conti and the Italian team danced with joy and drank cava from the trophy after they were presented with the first Puig Women’s America’s Cup, throwing team kit to a cheering crowd in Barcelona.
Mills, who also shed tears after the race, told Reuters following the final that she and her team were “gutted” by the loss, but she was confident that staging the first event for women in high-tech AC40 foiling boats was just a start.
