France's Charlie Dalin completed the Vendee Globe around-the-world sailing race in record time on Tuesday when he crossed the finish line in under 65 days but it was a journey four years in the making after he came agonisingly close to victory in 2021.

French sailor Charlie Dalin has won the around-the-world race Vendee Globe in record time. He completed his solo journey in less than 65 days — nearly 10 days faster than the previous mark — to make up for missing out on the victory in the previous edition four years ago.
