Tens of thousands of fans were lining iconic Navy Pier in Chicago. The fan zone was heaving. However, the wind took a while to co-operate. So officials took the Friday’s ‘substitute race’ and scored it as Race One of the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series Chicago. That victory went to SoftBank Team Japan. Even Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel took time out of his Mayoral duties to check out the America’s Cup.
