ROMA. “Unbelievable…it can’t be true. Yesterday, 2 hours after writing “I deserve it” on social media, I felt a stabbing pain in my side. Emergency room, CT scan, ultrasound, blood tests…Probable kidney stone. And now I find myself 3 days away from the race I sacrificed everything for, lying in a bed, helpless, with a fever of 38.8. I was supposed to leave for Paris today, and begin my journey towards this great dream. and instead I was advised to postpone the flight to tomorrow, in the hope that, with a little rest, the nightmare will end”. Thus, on Instagram, ‘Gimbo’ Tamberi announces his failure to arrive in Paris.
“All I can do is wait and pray… I don’t deserve all this, I’ve done everything for these Olympics, everything. I really don’t deserve it – Tamberi writes again -. Only one thing is certain, I don’t know how I’ll get there, but I’ll be on that platform and I’ll give my all until the last jump, whatever my condition. I swear to you, but first and foremost to myself!”.
