Oracle has tied the competition after trailing 81 points last week. Ktvus alex savidge is live at the americas cup village with the astonishing comeback, but its not over yet, right, alex . Reporter no, still a little more work to do with oracle team usa. Organizers couldnt have scripted this thing any better. One final race later on today. Winner take all. They are expecting huge crowds to come down here to americas cup pavilion along the embarcadero in San Francisco to watch this final race. The American Team facing off against Emirates Team new zealand. A win today by team usa would really capoff one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. It was just a week ago when the American Team trailed new zealand 81 in the quest for the cup. Since then, oracle has turned things around. The team is bankrolled by Larry Ellison. Theyve arrestleed off seven straight wins to draw even in the competition. It all comes down to the final race. New zealand fans are nervous as theyve watched their Team Collapse over the past week while american fans feel energized. Organizers say this is the kind of finish they hoped for. I honestly dont know. I honestly dont know. Im gonna be on the edge of the seats until someone crossing the finish line. Reporter organizers say an average of about 20,000 people a day turned out to watch the races, although the crowds have not lived up to expectations. Now, sailing fans seem to be dialed in. They are all set for a dramatic finish out on the bay. Although everyone hinges on the wind. If its too gusty, the teams wont go. For that race to happen. According to organizers wins must be under 23 knots. According to my rough calculations, thats approximately 26. 47 miles per hour. Steve paulson, tracking the winds. First of all, steve, are my calculations correct . Do you think the race will happen . You are on point, so to speak, alex. Reporter right. Im seeing about 16, 20 miles an hour. Does that sound about right where you are . Reporter yeah, i think thats about right. The flags behind us are sort of moving around a little bit. But nothing dramatic. The wind will pick up. Were expecting the breeze to show itself a little bit more this afternoon, late this afternoon, Small Craft Advisory starts at about 11 00 today. Thats when i think more of the breeze will kick in. Theres some really good gusts in the Higher Elevations of marin county, 40 miles an hour at mount tam. The northerly direction should come in and everything ive seen so far shows about 16 to 20 now. It looks to be around 25 at noon. Probably okay, then. I would say it would be between 1 00 and 4 00. If things kind of hold the way they are now. They will be good to go. We expect a breezy day. The first race the only race is supposed to be at 1 15 this afternoon. 8 08. Meanwhile, Larry Ellisons love for sailing is apparently causing waves at the open World Convention in San Francisco. Some people attending the event say they are upset because part of the reason they traveled thousands of miles and paid thousands of dollars in registration fees and travel costs was to hear the oracle ceo give a major address at the convention. But ellison skipped the speech to attend the races. About 60,000 people are attending the convention which ends tomorrow. Some believe if oracle wins the cup, ellison could come back and display the trophy to make amends. You can follow our continuing coverage of the americas cup at ktvu. Com.
