Athletics, the coach Mazzaufo: “Tamberi doesn’t know how to crush”. And Gimbo on social networks replies with fire

Touch him (almost) everything, but not basketball: Gianmarco Tamberi, you know, loves him more than the high jump, as well confirmed by his participation two weekends ago at the Celebrity All Star Game Nba, in Cleveland, from which he came back charged and almost as happy as from Tokyo last summer after winning Olympic gold. It happens that someone, however, has “dared” and … open heaven.

The case

–

Gimbo, on his Instagram profile, publishes a video (a Reel), in which he excerpts some statements of Professor Claudio Mazzaufo, born in Teramo in 1958, technical manager of the jumps and multiple tests within the national athletics team, made in a recent broadcast of a local tv. Referring to Ancona, Mazzaufo says: “They make his dunks pass as if they were who knows what. They are very normal squashed. He doesn’t know how to crush “. Tamberi, to follow, posted a series of his ten dunks – one more spectacular than the other – and the following comment: “It reminds me a lot of my middle school teacher who called my father to tell him:” His son insists on wanting to jump high in the school competition even if it is clear that he has no talent in this discipline. I told him to do the cross-country race, but there is no way, even if he surely will finish last by taking away points from the school, he wants to do his own thing! Could you please tell him that he is absolutely not inclined for the high jump?!?! “. In a few hours, dozens (hundreds) of comments at the bottom. Including that of Marcell Jacobs (“Sbammmm”) and other blues such as the hedger Ala Zoghlami, the hurdler Hassene Fofana or the sprinter Johanelis Herrera.

The curriculum

Mazzaufo, decades of experience in the world of top sport, even in basketball up to being the athletic trainer of his hometown team in the top flight and, over the years, consultant for many jumpers, Andrew Howe in the head, explained that the sentences were decontextualized and that he believes that Gianmarco, when he plays, risks getting hurt, also because, in fact, he does not crush with the most correct technique. The controversy, probably also the result of the utterances of a Teramo councilor in the post Olympics, meanwhile inflames the web.
