British Olympic champion Andrew 'Bart' Simpson, who won a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Games, died on Thursday when his yacht capsized off the California coast during training for the America's Cup, his racing team said.
Simpson, 36, had been sailing on the Artemis, Sweden's entry in the America's Cup, when the catamaran capsized, according to a statement for the team posted on the Artemis website. The team is "devastated," said CEO Paul Cayard.
