Paris 2024 not è been as successful as hoped

Tamberi in Paris 2024 failed è to showcase his enormous talent. A reason to reappear at the next Olympics, scheduled for Los Angeles 2028? Hard to say, partly because there are several issues to be addressed and resolved before making a final decision.

"Now I have to figure out if my body è still able to support those loads, I am talking about degeneration of tissues: I am sure that I will have no problems to do another season at 100 percent until the World Championships in Tokyo (Sept. 13-21, ed.), but thinking about Los Angeles è moreù complicated", Gimbo words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Italian fans hope so, partly becauseè Tamberi è still one of the best in the high jump. Being able to see him in action again in an Olympics would really be the best. The problem è that Gimbo first wants to understand if he will haveè the necessary strength to get there at the top and, therefore, with the right cards to try to win.

In Paris 2024 he experienced a'huge disappointment: "I staked everything on fulfilling the great Olympic dream, but I had no plan B", his clear words on the matter. Now there's a question of whether he will have the will for a new Olympic plan, in the hope that it will end perhaps as in Tokyo, so with winning the gold medal.
