Biography

Gianmarco Tamberi is coached by his father, Marco Tamberi, who held the indoor Italian record in 1983 with the measure of 2.28 m.[3]

In 2015, Tamberi broke the Italian high jump record twice—first with a jump of 2.34 m in Cologne, and second with a 2.37 m in Eberstadt, where he was second behind Derek Drouin. He later finished 8th at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing with a clearance of 2.25 m.

During winter 2016, Tamberi won every contest he participated at. He won in Banska Bystrica with 2.35 m, a new Italian indoor record, equalled by Marco Fassinotti in the same event. He won in Trinec after clearing 2.33 m. At the 2016 High Jump Moravia Tour, he recorded a jump of 2.38 m, enough to beat Chris Baker of Great Britain and Kyriakos Ioannou of Cyprus, and which gave him the Italian indoor high jump record. He won a gold medal at the World Indoor Championships in Portland in March 2016 with a jump of 2.36 m.

Tamberi was unable to compete at the Olympic games due to an injury earlier in the season.

At major competitions, he is known for sporting a full beard during qualification and shaving half of it for the final.[4]

gollark: BRB right back, installing then never using zig.
gollark: Something like that? It's a bit weird. I don't know exactly how it works.
gollark: I mean, BF is very simple. Yet, memory-safe BF would be nightmarishly hard.
gollark: No it wouldn't. Assembly has you wildly do anything ever to registers and memory.
gollark: I regularly put up with as much as *5* seconds.
