What you are about to see is the first episode of a long interview James Spithill gave to Ida Castiglioni and the Giornale della Vela immediately after Luna Rossa’s defeat in the Louis Vuitton Cup final. When we received the footage in the newsroom and viewed it, we were genuinely moved, because the Spithill we know is the one of low pulse under stress, the one who is always confident, the winner with few emotions, the ruthless killer of the match race. Instead, the one who told his story to our microphones, tracing his entire career, is a sportsman who also reflects in an intimate and sometimes bitter way on the “moment.”
“I’m not used to standing on the sidelines and watching. I feel like as a child when I was playing sports, and I was injured or sick. If I deserved this final I would stay here, but because I don’t deserve it, I feel like I shouldn’t be here. And so it will be. “.
Enjoy the viewing, and thanks to James Spithill for telling his story, unfiltered, as he may have never done in his career.
