Gianmarco Tamberi restarts with a Diamond League victory
Gianmarco Tamberi starts again with a victory
After the disappointment at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Gianmarco Tamberi è returned to the podium and did so by scoring a fine victory in the Diamond League, in the Chorzow stage in Poland, just a few days after the Pietro Mennea Golden Gala on Friday evening at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
It was another race full of emotions for Gimbo, who seriously risked elimination at the entry measure of 2.18 m (two errors and little energy) only to rise again in the last available attempt at 2.31, a jump that allows him to surpass in the ranking the 2.29 of Jamaican Romaine Beckford, Ukrainian Oleh Doroshchuk and Korean Woo Sang-hyeok.
“I am starting from here,” commented the reigning world and European champion. This was a key step to present myself in Rome with more confidence. It will be at the Olympic Stadium, a lot of people will take care of me and I am looking forward to showing up on that platform. When I came back from Paris, I did not recognize myself. I also missed a couple of training sessions and it had never happened to me except on the day the Games were postponed from 2020 to 2021".
"Here I felt like an out-of-place kid, it è showed at the beginning of the race. Instead I come out of here with a good measure and good attempts at very very high measures. I still feel inside a hunger and a desire to do that I probably wouldn't have if it had gone well in Paris: maybe that bad experience will give me the strength to go on” concluded the blue-rider.
