Tokyo 2020 Olympic Champion Strongly Supported Ukraine at World Cup

Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Gianmarco Tamberi has found an original way to support Ukraine during the high jump competition at the World Summer Sports Championships in Belgrade.

The 29-year-old Italian pasted the Ukrainian flag on his shoulder and wrote the names of Ukrainian athletes Bohdan Bondarenko and Andriy Protsenko, with whom he had performed several times.

Tamberi won a bronze medal in Serbia.

"I am very glad that I won the bronze medal at the World Championships. It was a difficult tournament. Tribute to Bondarenko and Protsenko. I wanted to jump for them as well," said the Italian athlete.
