Participants criticize medical response following Torruco's death at iF3 Masters World Championships

The death of Mario Torruco during Event 1 of the iF3 Masters World Championships in Aruba is raising an increasing number of questions. Multiple participants report that medical assistance on site took too long to arrive after his collapse.

The iF3, Aruba F3 and Mexico F3 each responded with official statements via Instagram. Notably, all three organizations disabled comments on their posts, blocking any public discussion.

Participants and witnesses are deeply unhappy about that. They want to know why the medical preparation fell short and who was responsible.

The central question athletes are now asking is who established the medical protocols for this tournament and whether those protocols were followed at all.
