🚨 News just in...! ⚡ Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team have been crowned SailGP's Season 4 Champions of the Impact League - the Podium for the Planet 🌍🏆 A world first, the Impact League runs alongside the SailGP Season Championship itself, and tracks the positive actions teams take to reduce their overall footprint and accelerate inclusivity in sailing. The Great Britain team have rounded off a hugely impactful season on and off the water to lift the highly coveted trophy and secure prize funds for their purpose partner, Protect Our Future, and their collaborative ambition to empower 3 million young people to take climate action by the end of Season 5. Emirates GBR had just a handful of points lead over runners-up ROCKWOOL Denmark SailGP Team - last season’s Impact League champions - and Switzerland SailGP Team in third place. SailGP's Chief Purpose Officer Fiona Morgan said: "I am incredibly proud to have delivered another year of the Impact League and it is great to see a new team winning - three different Champions in as many seasons - and such fierce competition with all teams upping their game across the season calendar. The global impact the Podium for the Planet delivers is unrivaled; working with world-class partners we’re creating a ripple effect in sailing and inspiring other sports. I am really thrilled for the Great Britain team and their Impact League title - they came into the season wanting to win and have delivered a super impactful calendar, with great initiatives across both social and environmental sustainability”.

Today, SailGP has launched new Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) features in the SailGP app – providing fans with an enhanced viewing experience of the league’s Season 4 Grand Final, taking place this weekend in San Francisco. Fans watching the teams go head-to-head on San Francisco Bay - either in person or tuning in from home - can enjoy an immersive 3D experience through SailGP's app simply by pointing their handheld iOS device towards the action unfolding right in front of them. The revolutionary new feature has been powered by LiveLineFX technology and use of the Oracle Cloud, which enables the global championship to process 1.15B data requests in real-time via 125 sensors from each of the ten state-of-the-art F50 catamarans per hour over T-Mobile’s 5G hybrid network solution. 👀 👉 https://lnkd.in/eaea3FrJ ⚡ #technologyandinnovation #augmentedreality #virtualreality #SailGP #globalracingleague #PoweredbyNature #Season4GrandFinal #SanFrancisco

Anna Weis is a boundary breaker. 🚀 At SailGP, we are proud to be one of the few sports leagues where men and women compete on a level playing field. This unique opportunity allows us to witness our athletes compete at the highest level, regardless of gender. While the grinding role on the boat is the most physical role and traditionally held by male athletes, Anna Weis is breaking boundaries by showing she can compete there too as the fleet's first full-time female grinder. Anna is determined 'to reach the limit of how strong [she] can be and prove that women can perform in different roles on the boat, especially physical ones.' Discover more about her journey below 👇
