“May God protect you so that no evil shall come upon you or partial judge hinder your shine!”
The Brazilian Italo Ferreira, world champ in 2019, has launched a stinging fusillade across the bow of Australian Jack Robinson ahead of their much-anticipated Finals Day clash at Cloudbreak in a couple of weeks.
Italo Ferreira, just-married and a daddy-to-be, has had a wild ol time trying to nail a second world title: he was runner-up in 2022 and 2024 and finished third in 2021.
Twice he’s matched-up with Hot Rodent Man Jack Robinson on Finals Day, easily winning both, although Jackie gave him hell last year in a paddle battle where Italo claimed the Australian rowed over the top of him.
Thus, to perhaps circumvent the same thing happening again, Ferreira has posted a rant about ethics on his @if15sports account with vision of the 2024 encounter with Jackie.
What’s the concept of fair play in sport?
Whats the limit to the competitor?
Respect, Ethics, Integrity, Equality and Sportsmanship.
The healthy competition: fair play, on and off the stage, in the arena.
In addition to following rules, you can expect from the competitor respect, loyalty and honesty – above all in their conduct.
Provoking conflict, generating contradiction, and disharmony can leave room for subjective interpretations and vague decisions about compliance with rules.
We’ve reached yet another — now the last — Finals Five, where the spirit of equality should prevail, promoting balanced opportunities, whatever nationality, flag or belief.
The game is on!
Fair play is expected !!
May God bless and protect us in the last chapter of this journey!
Comments were as expected.
May God protect you so that no evil shall come upon you and no dishonest adversary or partial judge can hinder your shine! Go for it champ! We are with you!!!
Worst concept of fair play comes from the WSL !
By giving weird grades to some athletes.
But that only happens because athletes allow it.
I guarantee that if the athletes who feel harmed turn against the entity, many people will stop watching the events and they will rethink.
I’m really worried about these FINALS, They managed to put 2 sweethearts, and they will do everything to make them champion
Tears before the game starts! A new first!
