Australia battle back from mediocre first day to snatch victory from Canada and Great Britain in Chicago's Skyline Stadium
The Aussies, back-to-back and reigning SailGP Champions, blew Canada and the Brits away in the Lake Michigan winner-takes-all Final, extending their incredible winning streak to five successive events.
Tom Slingsby's team battled back from a disastrous last-place finish in the fourth fleet race to scrape into the Final by just a single point, before once again perfectly executing their flawless three-boat podium race strategy to claim maximum points in the battle for Championship glory.
