European Athletics Championships, Gimbo drives the Olympic stadium in Rome crazy. The party with Mattarella in the stands
Gianmarco Drums show to European Athletics Championships in Rome. Gimbo conquered the gold medal In the high jump with a monstrosity 2 meters and 37 and then he ran up to the stands at the Olympic stadium with the tricolor around his neck, breaking every protocol, to go and hug the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. Last night at the Olimpico – reports Il Corriere della Sera – was the most beautiful, craziest evening in the history of Italian athletics in Italy. Gimbo made a mistake once at 2.26 and then twice at 2 and 29, collapsing on the bags in desperation. At that point, after a minute with his head in his hands, the rock star Tamberi transformed into the most ruthless, implacable of champions: 2 meters and 31 on the first attempt, two nulls at 2 and 33 and the match won.
Then, when you thought he wanted to stop and enjoy the applause, there he was the 2 and 34 and then even the 2 and 37 on the first leap: the third measurement in his career, one a quota that it had not exceeded for three years. “If I hadn’t won today I wouldn’t have spoken for a month – she explained – because I knew I had done a great job and the disappointment would have been crazy.” To embrace Mattarella in the stands – continues Il Corriere – it wasn’t just Gimbo Tamberi. But also Nadia Battocletti who after the gold in the 5000 meters also took strength 10 thousandescaping with two laps to go and demolishing the national record. In the medal table we are at altitude twenty: tonight there are relays.
