“Can we have two golds?” and Tamberi explodes – video

“Can we have two golds?”. This is the question that kicks off the party of Gianmarco Tamberi, the new Olympic high jump champion. The blue shares the top step of the podium with the Qatari Mutaz Essa Barshim. Both at an altitude of 2.37, the athletes – as the Eurosport video documents – find themselves in conciliabolo with a judge. “You can continue with the playoff jump,” says the judge. “Can we have two golds?”, Retorts the Qatari. “It is possible, it depends on whether you decide to be both champions”, replies the judge: not even the time to complete the sentence, Tamberi and Barshim already embrace to celebrate. HOW MANY EMOTIONS! Yes, Gimbo! You just won gold, it’s all true! #HomeOfTheOlympics | # Tokyo2020 | #Athletics | #HighJump | #Tamberi | #ItaliaTeam | #Gold pic.twitter.com/P3YxthPIES— Eurosport IT (@Eurosport_IT) August 1, 2021
