Athletics, World Cup Belgrade: Italy with Tamberi, the Olympic champion of the high will be there

With a video on social media, the Olympic high jump champion has broken the delay: he does not jump (and wins) and since last September 9, but he is also there for the world title

It has kept fans and enthusiasts waiting for long hours. Then, with the video of a successful jump in training held in Ancona shortly before and published on his Instagram account, he dissolved his reservations. On Sunday, Gianmarco Tamberi will make his debut in 2022 in the direct final of the high of the Indoor World Championships in Belgrade.

Favourable conditions

The Olympic champion, who has not competed since 9 September, has therefore decided to take the risk since the final of the Diamond League in Zurich (first Italian). Because this is what it is: the absence was long and the race, until a few weeks ago, was not on the agenda. Then the physical condition, starting from the January meeting in Mauritius, increased. And with it the desire to get involved. The cast of the race – good, but not great – must have done the rest. At the moment, only South Korean Sanghyeok Woo seems to be really on the ball, fourth at the Tokyo Games and recently climbed to 2.36 and 2.35.

Another flight

“We will get on the podium with a 2.30” anticipated dad-coach Marco in recent days. Evidently it is the measure that Gimbo has in his legs. The unknown is precisely linked to the technical aspects, but we know that Gianmarco becomes a lion in the race. “See you in Belgrade” wrote the policeman commenting on the video above, which ends with a landing on the bags of the World Cup in Portland 2016, won with 2.36. Six years later, with an extra heavy gold around his neck, another flight is to be taken.
