Ben Ainslie, the most successful sailor in Olympic history, has been fired.
After winning his fifth consecutive Olympic medal, Ainslie helped defender Oracle Team USA win the 2013 America’s Cup. The British champion then launched Ben Ainslie Racing for the 2017 event, and then partnered with INEOS Chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe for the 2021 and 2024 editions.
Ainslie was 0-3 in these three attempts to win the America’s Cup which was enough for Ratcliffe to move on as indicated in this INEOS statement:
INEOS will enter a challenge for the 38th America’s Cup under the team name INEOS Britannia after parting ways with Sir Ben Ainslie. – Full report
