Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi announced that he would not be able to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games due to illness.
The athlete was admitted to hospital with a kidney stone just three days before the start of the Paris Olympics.
– It’s over… I hoped until the end, I believed despite everything that happened, but it’s obvious that it was supposed to happen…
I woke up last night at 5am with the same pain as a few days ago. Five hours have passed and the pain has not gone away.
I managed to beat fate once after that injury in 2016. This time, unfortunately, I really think she won. I have no words, really, it’s a shame,” Tamberi wrote on the social network.
Tamberi won a gold medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
