With two weeks to go until the end of the competitive season, Gianmarco Tamberi shared a significant physical change on social media, revealing an impressive weight gain. The champion from the Marche region explained that this gain is part of a gradual and planned preparation, aimed at shedding the weight ahead of the crucial moments of the season.
“"For 15 years now, I've spent 10 months of the year making sacrifices to get my body as strong as possible, and then a whole month enjoying life without worries or guilt," Tamberi wrote in his lengthy post. The athlete added that this time off allows him to recharge and return each year with the desire to get back into the game.
The change is no accident: for example, Tamberi began training for the 2024 Tokyo Olympics at 82.5 kg, gradually reducing it to 74 kg in Paris, and finally dropping to 76 kg at the European Championships in Rome. This weight management is carried out under the supervision of specialists, highlighting the delicate and complex nature of the process.
