Il Tempo: Ultimate Championship, un super Tamberi vince anche a Budapest
Budapest, 13 set. (Adnkronos) - Un super Gimbo Tamberi nella terza e ultima giornata dell'Ultimate Championship di atletica leggera a Budapest. Il campione olimpico azzurro ha dominato la finale del salto in alto. Dopo il terzo posto a Bruxelles nella finale di Diamond League, e dopo l'oro all'Europeo di Birmingham e quello ai Giochi del Mediterraneo a Taranto, il 34enne campione marchigiano si è imposto saltando 2,37 metri, record mondiale stagionale. Secondo posto per lo statunitense JuVaughn Harrison con 2,30.
Il campione ha poi messo in scena il suo personale show e dopo aver fallito l'ultima prova a 2.41 si rialza e festeggia con salti mortali, giro di campo, e corsa verso la tribuna, scavalcando come suo solito per andare a salutare la moglie, la primogenita Camilla e i suoi tifosi.
Gimbo, sceso in pedana con la sua tradizionale 'mezza barba' ('halfshave', il suo soprannome), va poi a prendersi il trofeo nella premiazione con il tricolore sulle spalle e si prende tutti gli applausi quando viene annunciato il suo nome, poi mentre solleva il premio allo stadio risuona "Bello e impossibile" di Gianna Nannini.
L'ultima volta che Tamberi aveva saltato 2,37 risale all'11 giugno 2024 nella finale degli Europei di Roma sotto gli occhi del Presidente della Repubblica, Sergio Mattarella. La misura ottenuta a Budapest è la stessa con la quale aveva vinto l'oro (assieme a Mutaz Barshim del Qatar) l'1 agosto 2021 ai Giochi olimpici di Tokyo 2020.
Ultimate Championship, Super Tamberi wins in Budapest too.
Budapest, September 13. (Adnkronos) - Super Gimbo Tamberi in the third and final day of the Ultimate Championship of athletics in Budapest. The Olympic champion Italian athlete dominated the high jump final. After third place in Brussels in the Diamond League final, and after gold at the European Championships in Birmingham and the Mediterranean Games in Taranto, the 34-year-old Marche champion prevailed by jumping 2.37 meters, a seasonal world record. Second place went to American JuVaughn Harrison with 2.30.
The champion then put on his personal show and after failing the last attempt at 2.41 he rises up and celebrates with somersaults, a lap of honor, and a run towards the stands, overtaking as usual to greet his wife, eldest daughter Camilla, and his fans.
Gimbo, who came onto the stage with his traditional ‘half shave’ (‘halfshave’, his nickname), then went on to take the trophy in the award ceremony with the tricolor on his shoulders and received all the applause when his name was announced, then while raising the prize at the stadium Gianna Nannini's "Bello e impossibile" (Beautiful and Impossible) resonated.
The last time Tamberi had jumped 2.37 went back to June 11, 2024 in the final of the European Championships in Rome under the watchful eye of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella. The measure obtained in Budapest is the same with which he won gold (alongside Mutaz Barshim from Qatar) on August 1, 2021 at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

@reporting_GB@mastodon.social @tazgetroete@mastodon.social Super Text! Danke. Es gibt im Moment so ein Stück Hoffnung, das auf #Labour und die Grünen projiziert wird. Wenn die es jetzt nicht schaffen, einige Dinge substantiell zu verändern, wird beim nächsten Mal #ReformUK übernehmen. Viele kämpfen gegen den sozialen Abstieg. Die Obdachlosigkeit grassiert. Für manche Gegenden ist das Wort shithole noch geschmeichelt. Man fühlt sich im öffentlichen Raum nicht besonders sicher. #Birmingham ist vielleicht noch krasser.

An angry middle aged white man in #Birmingham attacked several #Police officers after being prevented by the arrival of authorities from attacking a Black man he had cornered in his garden.
He also threw boiling water at the Black man and a female Police officer (causing injury to both. It took multiple officers to arrest him (I'm surprised they didn't deploy Tasers, but maybe didn't have Taser trained units available)
He pleaded guilty at #Court and got a 14 year sentence (will likely serve about 8-9 years inside)
I couldn't find any previous for the offender, but this doesn't seem like normal behaviour at age 58 - I guess this is what these men mean by "take back are country?"

#FollowTheMoney 🧵 11/n Another key area money flows away from are local councils and social services and, therefore, the young and, again, community. In Birmingham, whose council declared bankruptcy in 2023, provisions for children will be cut by £52m in 2024-25 and £63m in 2025-26; youth services by £2.3m; and eleven community centres are being sold off. As John Harris says:
The state is abandoning its people

Everyone knows that koalas love eucalyptus. But this tiny koala also loves munching on Easter branches. So if you got a tiny koala at the Brisbane in 2028 Worldcon bid table at Eastercon, watch out, cause these little fellows eat a lot. #Eastercon #Brisbane2028 #Birmingham
🚂 #Railway veteran Alan Newman, 79, returned to the footplate of the historic Flying #Scotsman in #Birmingham, 40 years after driving it on London-Stratford specials in the 1980s. Alan, a Duty Control Manager at Chiltern Railways, spent Friday 20 February assisting visitors at Birmingham Moor Street as families flocked to see the locomotive. Having worked in rail since 1962, his roles have included train driver, instructor, station manager and operational manager. Flying Scotsman was on display at the station for three days, operated by #Vintage #Trains.
