  A first victory for China Team (17/06/05)
(source : America's Cup)

China Team earned its first win at the 32nd America's Cup, over Team Shosholoza, while the big four teams from the 2004 season continued to have their way at the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 4 on Friday.

Alinghi, BMW Oracle Racing, Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa each earned two wins from two races. All sit equal atop the leaderboard with perfect records and four points.

Conditions were very good for racing with eight to 11 knots of Easterly winds and many of the teams revelled in the slightly stronger conditions.

It was a good day for China Team, Desafío Español, K-Challenge, and Victory Challenge who each split their matches, taking half the points available to them on the day.
