Tamberi nightmare
PAVIA (ITA): “Wake me up from this nightmare… Give me back my dream please…All these years just for that competition, all these sacrifices just for that day… I’ll come back stronger than before, but now I can really only cry! Goodbye my Rio!” posted Gianmarco Tamberi on his instagram. That means that Italian athletics team lost its main medal contender at Rio Olympics. Reigning World indoor and European champion Gianmarco Tamberi got an injury during his second attempt over 241 at Diamond League Herculis meeting in Monaco Friday night already after his victory there with new NR of 239. Saturdays’ tomography examination by professor Francesco Benazzo in Pavia’s San Matteo hospital diagnosed 50% lesion of the left ankle’s (take-off foot) deltoid ligament. The surgery is planned for Monday.
