The America's Cup is the oldest trophy in international sports, dating back to 1851, when the United States challenged Britain with the schooner America.

The boats used in the America's Cup are designed for extreme sailing, making them unstable and capable of reaching speeds of 40 miles an hour, which can be dangerous.

This challenge taught me that when you decide to pursue something, you can achieve it, reinforcing that nothing is impossible if you plan and prepare well. Teamwork is essential; it's about a group of people who trust each other and work towards a common goal, just like in sailing where 120 people collaborate to support one individual in winning a challenge.

Winning is not just about the trophy; it's about the journey and the effort put in every day leading up to the competition.

Success in startups is incredibly challenging; it's like training for the Olympics, where you need to prepare rigorously and may face multiple failures before achieving success.

AlphaProof achieved a silver medal level of performance in the International Mathematics Olympiad, solving extremely challenging problems that only a small percentage of contestants could solve.

When I started racing, the odds of surviving a season were about 90%, with only 18 out of 20 drivers typically finishing the season.

I hope I won my sixth Olympia and want to bring my best package, despite the adversities I've faced over the years.

To the sailing team embarking on their challenge, my message is to believe in themselves, as they are well-prepared and capable of winning.
