Gianmarco Tamberi wins the Diamond League high jump crown
The Italian Olympic champion Gianmarco Tamberi has sawn off his challenge to the American multidiscipline prodigy, JuVaughn Harrison, claiming the Diamond Lague high jump title in Zurich. Tamberi was expected to duel out with Mutaz Essa Barshim with whom he shared the Tokyo Olympics gold but the situation quickly overturned. Qatari was well out of sorts and only managed to clear the 2.18m.
Instead of that, Harrison who competes in the long jump has come second behind Tabmeri on the countback, after both of them cleared 2.34m. Both of them have recorded the season-best efforts at a specially constructed city-centre street venue, hosting the opening evening before the action moves up to Letzigrund Stadium. Tamberi was offered a consoling chest bump to the 23-year-old Harrison before he grabbed his trophy and hoisted it to the acclaim of the Swiss crowd. Earlier the same evening, Kenya Beatrice Chebet who won the silver in Oregon earlier in this year took a small measure of revenue on the world champion Gudaf Tsegay.
