Today, Wednesday 7 August (10.05 am) Gianmarco Tamberi will make his debut at the Olympics of Paris 2024. The champion from the Marche region will compete in the high jump qualificationswhich comes after very troubled days for the Italian flag bearer: he was in hospital on Sunday due to a probable kidney stonehas overcome a fever of 38.8 °C, has left for the French capital and will now be called upon to chase access to the final.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Champion is chasing the greatest double ever achieved in history in this specialty: he will have to jump 2.29 meters or be among the best twelve, the Italian will show up on the platform with some ailments still on his side. It will not be so obvious and simple, given the precarious conditions and considering the caliber of the competition.
It should not be forgotten that the blue has often argued with the preliminary round and has risked being left out of the final act several times, only to be able to re-emerge when he had his back to the wall. The renamed Gimbo will especially cross paths with the Qatari Mutaz Essa Barshim (another Olympic Champion) and the South Korean Sanghyeok Woo. On platform B, however, other rivals will be engaged, such as the American JuVaugh Harrison and the New Zealander Hamish Kerr.
