Antonio Flores presented with the second TGS Malta Fair Play Award

By |August 17th, 2021|0 Comments

The Malta Fair Play Movement announced the second TGS Malta Fair Play Award in conjunction with the Malta Sports Journalists Association and sponsored by Together Gaming Solutions. Local Paralympic athlete Antonio Flores has been awarded this second award covering the April-June 2021 period. After years of intensive training, Antonio Flores was bound to be part of the athletes' contingent for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. It resulted that he had suffered an injury, which if not recovered in time, would mean that the place for athletics would remain vacant with no Malta participation. However, in view of the situation, Antonio Flores took the tough decision to forfeit his Tokyo 2020 participation, in order that another athlete could be registered in time. Eventually, Thomas Borg will represent Malta in athletics instead of Flores. “We strongly agree with the selection of Local Paralympic athlete Antonio Flores as winner of the second TGS [...]

Antonio Flores irċieva t-tieni TGS Malta Fair Play Award

By |August 17th, 2021|0 Comments

Il-Malta Fair Play Movement ħabbar it-tieni TGS Malta Fair Play Award b’mod konġunt mal-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports u sponsorjat minn Together Gaming Solutions. Il-paralimpiku lokali Antonio Flores ġie mogħti tieni premju għall-perjodu bejn April u Ġunju tas-sena 2021. Wara snin ta’ taħriġ intensiv, Antonio Flores kellu jkun parti mill-kontinġent tal-atleti fil-Logħob Paralimpiċi ta’ Tokjo 2020. Sadanittant Flores weġġa’ u jekk ma kienx se jirkupra fiż-żmien stipulat, kien se jirriżulta li l-post tal-atletika jibqa’ vakanti u Malta ma tkunx rappreżentata f’dawn il-logħbiet. Kien hawn li Antonio Flores ħa d-deċiżjoni iebsa li jċedi postu mill-edizzjoni ta’ Tokjo 2020, sabiex atleta ieħor Malti jkun jista’ jiġi reġistrat minfloku. Eventwalment huwa Thomas Borg li se jirrappreżenta lil Malta fl-atletika minflok Flores. “Aħna nikkonfermaw bil-qawwa kollha l-għażla tal-atletà paralimpiku lokali Antonio Flores bħala r-rebbieħ tat-tieni TGS Malta Fair Play Award u tassew napprezzaw dan il-ġest tiegħu ta’ sportività. B’dan il-ġest tiegħu ta’ fair play, Flores qed [...]
