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.

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.
