Rome, 6 September (LaPresse) – ‘As long as I am a professional, I will have to make professional choices. So see you in Tokyo, hoping it will be worth it.’ This is how Gianmarco Tamberi announced on his social media channels his final decision to participate in the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, where four years ago he won gold in the high jump, tied with Barshim. The decision came after many difficulties and doubts, from physical issues to contractual matters, as he himself explained, and was shared with his wife Chiara Bontempi.
