PARIS. Gianmarco Tamberi qualified for the high jump final in Paris 2024, among the top 12.
The Italian, Olympic gold medalist in Tokyo but who fell ill in recent days due to renal colic with fever, stopped at 2.24, failing three times in his attempt at 2.27. However, he returned to the group of 12. With him was also the other Italian, Stefano Sottile, with the same performance.
The Italian, gold medalist in the high jump in Tokyo, took to the platform in Paris 2024 for the qualifications despite the fever of the last few days and cleared the 2.20 mark on his first attempt, after having avoided attempting the entry mark (2.15). But as soon as he got up from the landing mat, Tamberi shook his head to show his dissatisfaction. After jumping 2.20 and 2.24, he made his first mistake in the qualifications for the high jump in Paris 2024, at 2.27. Immediately after, in the other group, his friend Barshim, who won the gold in Tokyo tied with Gimbo, jumped, stopping before the take-off due to pain in his calf. Immediately, before the doctors, Tamberi ran to ‘help’ him, helping him to resolve the probable cramp.
