He does not want to take any risks, the stakes, those which are being played out in Paris where he is expected for the next Olympic Games, are very high and therefore Gianmarco Tamberi “reluctantly” withdraws from high jump competition at Szekesfehervar meeting in Hungary. What stopped him was “a pain felt in the hamstrings during the warm-up” as he himself announced on social networks “I hope it's nothing serious but. the truth is that 30 days before the Olympics (where he will also carry the flag of Italy with Arianna Errigo ed.) even twisted hair is serious!”, commented the athlete.
In his message Tamberi expresses disappointment with the situation: “This thing is draining my soul, I managed to do almost one race this year and the dream of my life has almost come true! Unfortunately I think that the Diamond League in Monte Carlo on July 12 will also be in danger, with 3 days I doubt that everything will be fine, I really have no words…”. But the champion has repeatedly demonstrated his extraordinary resilience.
A tenacity that led him to compete only at the European Championships in Rome, where he won with a time of 2.37, a seasonal world record.
“I hope with all my heart that I can come back to the field soon – wrote Tamberi – to continue pursuing what I have been working for every day for 3 years now. I'll keep you informed.”
