After years of dreaming and 10 years of trying, Britain's Ben Ainslie has achieved his aim of challenging for the America's Cup, billed as the oldest trophy in international sport. The 47-year-old Briton is already the most successful Olympic sailor and has had the "Auld Mug" in his sights for almost as long as he can remember.

Great Britain secured a place in the America’s Cup for the first time in 60 years as four-time Olympic champion Ben Ainslie skippered Ineos Britannia to victory over Italy.
