"If you're going to lose your wedding ring, this is the way to apologise"- Fans react to Gianmarco Tamberi's apology to wife at Paris Olympics
Italian Olympian Gianmarco Tamberi recently garnered a lot of attention from fans with a heartfelt apology for his wife after losing his wedding ring. He lost the ring while playing the role of flag bearer for Italy at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
He penned a note on Instagram, where he explained the entire incident of losing the ring and added a classy apology for his wife. He said that the ring bounced off the boat and fell in the water, and added that he felt that the ring was fated to be in the "riverbed of the city of love." Explaining the incident, the athlete said:
"I saw it fly... I followed her with a glance until I saw her bouncing inside the boat. A Glimmer of Hope, but unfortunately the bounce was in the wrong direction and floating more than a thousand times in the air I saw her dive into the water like that was the only place she wanted to be."
Adding a class apology, he said:
"If I had to invent an apology I would never have been this imaginative. I think there might be a huge poetic side to yesterday's misdeed, and if you want, we'll throw yours into that river, too, so they'll be together forever, and we'll have one more excuse to, like you've always asked, renew our vows and get married to new. I love you my love."
One of the fans lauded Gianmarco Tamberi's apologizing skills:
"And so, the ring abandoned Gianmarco ... Fellas, if you're going to lose your wedding ring, this is the way to apologise."
Another follower, impressed with his apology, commented:
"Oh he has so much class! No wife could stay/ be annoyed at that!!"
Another fan commented on the athlete's smooth skills:
"Ah mon dieu, he's good. He could talk his way out of ANYTHING."
Another follower said:
"That's absolutely beautiful. Love wins.😭😭"
One of the users commending Gianmarco Tamberi's skills, said:
"This man is the true superstar of athletics. Love the mad man."
Along similar lines, another fan commented:
"It's the most dramatic, romantic, Italian thing isn't it?"
Gianmarco Tamberi opened up about his season debut at the European Championships
Gianmarco Tamberi was initially supposed to make his 2024 season debut at the Ostrava Diamond League. However, he withdrew from the event and opened his season at the European Championships, where he clinched gold in the high jump event.
He proved his prospect as a formidable athlete with a dominant performance and opened up about his comeback (as quoted by European Athletics):
"I knew I was in superb shape and I proved it. There were many doubts about me after withdrawing from Ostrava, but I knew I had trained well and I was in extraordinary form."
He added:
"I was a bit shaky at 2.29m, but then the show began. I pretended to be injured and hid springs in my shoes! I think some people fell for it. I did great things: now it's time for the Olympics."
With this win, Gianmarco Tamberi proved himself to be one of the favorites for gold in high jump at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
