“We won the Olympics after going through an incredible injury, after endless difficulties, we made it. I can’t believe it, I’ve dreamed of this day for so long.” These are the words with the voice choked by the emotion of Gianmarco Tamberi, gold in the high jump at the Tokyo Olympic Games, to the microphones of Rai Sport. “I made a dream come true that I can’t wait to tell my children. The plaster means the day I decided to try it. After the injury I lay in bed crying, then I got to write ‘road to Tokyo 2020 ‘and here I am “, concludes the blue gold ex aequo with the Qatari Mutaz Essa Barshim.
