“I’m happy, we really needed this result because I started the season a bit limping – Tamberi’s words -. Today I was super charged, I felt really good in the warm-up and I started the race with the conviction of being able to jump. very high. Then I actually messed around a bit with the technique, the pre-race jumps I consider the best, together with the first of three missed attempts at 2.34. However today it was essential to jump at least 2.30. measure I would have liked to do it in Trieste to give it to the Italian public but now I think only of the Golden Gala, I can’t wait to feel the warmth of the cheering, the curves and the stands full of passion, it will be something unique “. The return to the half beard in the face explains it thus: “I knew it was time to bring out … the attributed and fight! As the Indians did when they went to war, two signs in the face and the fight began. ‘half shave, stand with your back to the wall and try in every way to figure out how to get out! “.
