SOUNDBITE: (English) Jimmy Spithill, Oracle Team USA skipper:
"Man it's the ultimate, I mean to come back, I mean the greatest comeback in sports history says a lot about a team, a lot about their character, the heart and the fight they've got inside them, man it was worth every single part of it."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jimmy Spithill, Oracle Team USA skipper:
"Man I have so much respect for Emirates Team New Zealand, Dean Barker is a champion, Team New Zealand are champions and they will be back. It's been an absolute pleasure to go head-to-head. In any hard fight it's always tough, unfortunately there has to be a winner and a loser, but those guys are champions and I look forward to facing them again."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jimmy Spithill, Oracle Team USA skipper:
"We've just been working so hard, I mean from when we started the series to where we are now, designers, engineers, shore team, every night working 'til the wee hours of the morning. And then the sailors, never ever giving up, so we did it."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jimmy Spithill, Oracle Team USA skipper:
"Man I mean this is the greatest moment of my life, I'm just loving every minute of it. I'm doing it with the team around me, it doesn't get any better than this."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Dean Barker, Emirates Team New Zealand skipper:
"Yeah it's really very frustrating, you know we, you think back two weeks, the opposite was true, we had a, the gains that they've made is just phenomenal and you know it's a big credit to those guys, you know they've really done an amazing job to sort their boat out and probably a good thing for us that they didn't do it earlier."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Dean Barker, Emirates Team New Zealand skipper:
"I'm incredibly proud of our team and what they've achieved. I'm gutted that we didn't get the last win that we needed to take this cup back to New Zealand and it's just very hard to swallow."
