note
Until 2008 Jorginho divided his
activities between swimming at the
Pinheiros Club and sailing. However,
after almost qualifying for the Beijing
Olympic Games in the Finn class (he
lost by one single point at the
qualifying event), he started to
dedicate himself exclusively to sailing.
His father, Jorge Zarif Neto,
represented Brazil in this same class at
the Los Angeles Olympic Games in
1984 and Seoul 1988. A fanatic fan of
the Santos football club, Jorginho
competed in the Optimist and Laser
classes before adopting the Finn.
