Out of 2.21 in qualifying for Gimbo in Tokyo 4 years after the Olympic gold: “You have to accept defeats and start again. Now I just want to go home from my women”
He tried, he did not work: the dream platform turns into the nightmare platform. Gimbo Tamberi, in Tokyo, four years later: from the Olympic gold 2021 to the elimination in qualifying for the 2025 World Cup. The blue, compared to then, is a bad copy. Although only he knows how to involve the Japanese public 100%, to the games absent for Covid. Gianmarco, with the left thigh visibly bandaged, inheritance of the last ailment that emerged a couple of weeks ago, jumps 2.16 to the first test, surrenders to 2.21. Like the companions of (dis) Adventure Stefano Sottile and Manuel Lando. Best fate, on the other hand, touches in Matteo Sioli: the 19 -year -old Milanese exceeds 2.25 per second attempt (after resorting to the third to 2.21) and flies to the final. The first to embrace him after the successful leap? Tamberi, who remained with the others waiting for him.
attempt

It was known that the operation involved great risks: the Ancona area struggled over the entire season. Over 2.20, competing very little, never went. Thinking about Los Angeles 2028 and therefore long -term speech, he spent winter and spring to cure the inflamed knee. Then he started training back. But he left very late and, at 33 years old, nothing invented. He took the usual courage and a great desire to do it: it was not enough. He himself, moreover, was aware of not being in condition. The decision about the presence of the world championship, not surprisingly, has matured last minute. It was the “go” of his wife Chiara, who on August 14 made him father for the first time (of Camilla), who made the balance of the scale hang towards the “yes”. But it was and was an almost desperate attempt. Today in Tamberi there is no (almost) everything: speed, elasticity, propulsion. I stayed in a drawer. “There is little to say – comments Gimbo to the Rai microphones -. The regret is and sorry because the sensations in the heating were good. I did not do even a just jump unfortunately. I am angry because it is a pitiful result, it hurts. Last year I didn’t want to go on and now I will use this anger to continue. I can’t wait to start the preparation. home by my women “.
the future

Gimbo, as always, put his face on it. “I owe it to my team and to all those who support me,” he had remembered, however serene, on the eve. It went badly. But nothing takes away from the champion who is. You can be sure: there will be other episodes at the height of its fame.
