Last but not least: We are Alinghi

 Alinghi's victory is also pleasing for the media: The final race for the America's Cup 2007 on Tuesday was watched by 227,000 viewers on SF 2, corresponding to a market share of 46.4 percent, as reported by Swiss television. The decisive phase was even watched by 324,000 people. The press also had fun with Alinghi: "A final for the history books" was the headline in the Basler Zeitung. "We are winners at sea", said the Aargauer Zeitung. Blick got carried away with the headline "We are all Alinghi" - perhaps inspired by the German tabloid Bild, which used the title "We are Pope" for the last papal election. For a country that does not border the sea, the Alinghi victory was indeed remarkable.
However, President Micheline Calmy-Rey reminded us of the geographical circumstances: "We Swiss not only find our way on the mountain, but also on the wide open sea," she wrote in her congratulatory telegram.
