Gianmarco Tamberi is the 2020 Olympic gold co-medalist in the high jump. The Italian high jumper is a huge crowd pleaser among Italian sports fans, European sports fans, heck, any sports fans.
This interview was conducted by European Broadcasting Euro interviews, provided to media partners during the July 14-25, 2022 time period for the World Athletics Championships.
When Gianmarco is really fit, he cuts off half of his beard. The lack of reality in this action actually focuses the highly talented Italian high jumper.
Gianmarco is a player; in any event, he chooses to compete at. This past week, he had some trouble getting focused, and it took superhuman powers to get over 2.25 meters and 2.28 meters on the third attempt at both heights. He has moved onto the final in tth e 2022 World Athletics Outdoor Championships, being held in Eugene, Oregon, from July 14-July 25, 2022.
When Gianmarco Tamberi is on, he is masterful. In 2016, Gianmarco won the gold at the WA Indoor Championships. In 2022, in Belgrade, Serbia, Tamberi took the bronze in the World Indoors.
In the 2019 European Indoors, Gianmarco Tamberi took the gold medal in the HJ, and at the 2021 European Indoors, in Torun, Poland, Gianmarco took the silver.
Gianmarco Tamberi also won gold at the 2016 European Athletics Outdoor Champs. His PB outdoors is 2.39 meters or 7 feet, 10 inches, which is the Italian national record. His record indoors is 2.38 meters or 7 feet, 9 1/2 inches, also the Italian Indoor NR.
