Reports from Bermuda say the start of the America’s Cup could be delayed on Friday due to strong winds.

Organisers say gusts could reach more than 30 knots, higher than what is allowed.

Hoping to win the right to challenge Oracle Team USA are crews representing the UK, France, Japan, New Zealand and Sweden.

The Louis Vuitton America’s Cup Qualifiers are due to take place in Bermuda’s Great Sound up until June 12, before the final battle a few weeks later.
