    Plenty of risk but no reward for New Zealand's SailGP team in Los Angeles

    Plenty of risk but no reward for New Zealand's SailGP team in Los Angeles


    The Kiwis have finished 7th in the 10-team regatta - their worst showing in two years.

    Crew member Josh Junior says their mistake was preparing for windy conditions in LA.



    Junior adds that trying to make a miraculous comeback from a disappointing first day sealed their fate.



    Australia now leads the championship on 17 points - with New Zealand plummeting from first to fifth.
