LOOK: Unbelievable Photos From The America's Cup

Oracle Team USA did the unthinkable on Wednesday, pulling off the greatest comeback in the 162-year history of the America's Cup.

Miraculously recovering from a seven-race deficit, the team won eight races in a row to secure another victory for the United States.

Oracle founder and CEO Larry Ellison recounted the drama: "I just listened to [skipper] Jimmy Spithill. He said, 'You know what 8-1 is? 8-1 is motivating.'"

Check out some of the most dramatic moments of the final race below:
