The golden day of Italian sport saw the beautiful country win two gold medals through as many athletes: the historic double came thanks to Marcell Jacobs, 100-meter champion, e Gianmarco Tamberi, number one in the high jump. At this link all about Marcell Jacobs. Tamberi was perhaps unknown to most Italians until the Japanese edition of the Games. So here is a short card to learn more about the Olympic champion, including how much he has earned from Tokyo 2020.
Who is Gianmarco Tamberi and why everyone is talking about him
Gianmarco Tamberi, class 1992, originally from Civitanova Marche, is the first Olympic gold medal in men’s high jump in the history of Italian athletics. IS family tradition: his father, Marco, participated in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, reaching the final.
In 2012, Tamberi took part in the European Championships in Helsinki, finishing fifth and earning his participation in the London Olympics. In 2015, set his first Italian record, revised upwards several times in the following years, during several European competitions (Slovakia, Czech Republic).
He was world champion at the Portland World Championships in 2016. In the same year, a injury prevented him from participating in the Rio Games. In 2019 he was already back in shape: at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow he won gold by jumping the 2.32m measurement.
How much Gianmarco Tamberi earned from the Olympics
To pay the athletes is the country that sportsmen represent at the Games. Each nation provides for different salaries and Italy is not among the states that grant the highest emoluments to their representatives, victorious in the competitions. However, CONI has decided, this year, to increase salaries by one fifth compared to the Rio Olympics (the last edition held in 2016).
In any case, it would have been a lot of money: as regards Tokyo 2020, third place, therefore the bronze medal, entitles you to a prize of 60 thousand euros. Silver has gone from 75 thousand euros in previous editions to the current 90 thousand. The Olympic title is worth 180 thousand euros: Tamberi earned a lot by climbing to the top step of the podium.
Here, on the other hand, what Luigi Samele has earned, in second place in the men’s saber. Speaking of the economy that revolves around Tokyo 2020, here is how much the absence of the public imposed by the anti-contagion measures “costs”. Here, however, the five highest paid athletes of the Olympics.
