Less than a month from Tokyo, Gimbo still disappointed in Diamond League (2.14 in Chorzow): “I am far behind and I see it in the technique, I would not like to be a forcing”
The kiss sent to the end of the interview with the new arrival Camilla, born two days ago, did not completely hide the disappointment on the face of Gianmarco Tamberi. Less than a month after the Tokyo World Championship, the blue mountaineer was unable to exceed the entrance measure of 2.14 in the Quartultima Stage from the seasonal Diamond League, in Poland, to Chorzow. The signs of recovery seen in the German meeting of Heilbronn (2.20) remained such: Gimbo is far away, very far from the 2.37 of the Olympic gold of Tokyo 2021 and the European gold in Rome last year. Reason why he may decide not to return to Japan, where he was king for one night, for the September World Cup.
world farewell?

“I have my head another side, but you can understand me. I knew it would have been difficult to bring out the performance by landing here practically an hour before the race, instead of a couple of days before as usual. With my heart full of joy and gratitude, I had to come here to test once more my condition and the sensations on the platform”. Gimbo himself declared it immediately after the race: “I did not expect miracles, but I was unable to find the right rhythm on the platform despite having tried to draw all the energy possible from the arrival of Camilla”. For Tokyo, Tamberi has not yet decided, lucidly admitting the difficulties he is encountered in recent months: “I am far behind and I see him in the technique: even if I managed to put it much more, I don’t know how far and I would not want to be a forcing to go to the World Cup. Let’s see, it is an objectively complicated situation. On the one hand I would like to try to go to Tokyo, on the other I could also decide differently. Next two days … I will have to compare myself with other people to understand what is the best thing to do.
