Gianmarco Tamberi turned losing his wedding ring into a literal love poem. The Italian high jumper went a little *too* hard in his role as flag bearer and lost his wedding ring to the waters of the iconic River Seine. In a lengthy apology to his wife of almost two years, Chiara, the athlete said he hoped it was a, “Good omen to return home with an even bigger gold.” “Only you could turn this into something romantic,” Chiara commented on the post. Tamberi is already a gold medalist. He made headlines in Tokyo for choosing to share the high jump gold medal with Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim in a very wholesome moment. #gianmarcotamberi #italy #parisolympics #paris #paris2024 #parisfrance #teamitaly
