"The Federation must be considered from a sporting and economic point of view - says Roda as reported by fisi.org - we believe we have achieved the goal of making our disciplines competitive at the highest levels and at the same time The economic accounts have been put in order and in active order The athletes have been put in a position to express themselves, in recent years we have also tried to strengthen the minor disciplines that are not so minor, our message is what we are working at 360 °, young people are there and they need to grow up.Then it is clear that there are disciplines where recruitment is more difficult, but the Federation, technicians and public opinion must work to support sport ".
The criticism from outside? They are part of the game and it is right that there are - continues Roda -, the important thing is that they are constructive, without making pessimism. I am proud to lead this federation and these guys who do many beautiful and important things, not only from a sporting point of view. Sport unites, does not divide, we look at the example of the two Koreas at the recent Olympics, I do not understand why we create hate, we must try to unite as much as possible. Many criticisms could hurt especially athletes who do not deserve it ".
