Dana Johannsen: An impressive performance by Team NZ

Emirates Team New Zealand has defeated Sweden's Artemis Racing on Bermuda's Great Sound to advance to the America's Cup match and another showdown with nemesis Oracle Team USA.

With unflappable 26-year-old Peter Burling at the helm, the Kiwis finally won a start against Artemis skipper Nathan Outteridge and sped away for a wire-to-wire victory Monday that clinched the best-of-nine challenger finals at 5-2.

Our reporter in Bermuda Dana Johannsen told Mike Hosking it was an impressive performance.

"Everything has happened in this regatta, so they weren't willing to sound the horn till Team New Zealand crossed the line, which they just did, and there's some ecstatic people on board," she said.
