Gianmarco Tamberi returns to the competition in the Diamond League which will close in Zurich with two days of competitions, between the Sechseläutenplatz (Wednesday) and the mythological Letzigrund stadium (Thursday). There will be 32 champions to be crowned, many qualified Azzurri and Tamberi gold. At the moment there are seven Italian athletes who will be involved: Wednesday Zane Weir (Enterprise Sport & Service) in the weight and Filippo Randazzo (Fiamme Gialle) in the long; Thursday Tamberi (Fiamme Oro) in the top, the bronze medal of the Euroindoors Paolo Dal Molin (Fiamme Oro) in the 110hs, the Italian record holder of the 400 meters Davide Re (Fiamme Gialle), the hedger Ahmed Abdelwahed (Fiamme Gialle) and the triplist Tobia Bocchi (Carabinieri). In the 100 meters the Sinhalese of Atletica Futura Roma, Yupun Abeykoon.
The greatest expectation is certainly for Gianmarco Tamberi: success in the Diamond League is the last competitive goal of an incredible season, a 2021 that has made the dream of a lifetime for the Marches come true. 'Gimbo' will be on the platform on Thursday, to take the title of 'Wanda Diamond League champion' in the top. Especially the Belarusian Olympic bronze medalist Maksim Nedasekau will undermine him. But the cast also includes 2.37-inch Russian Ilya Ivanyuk, Canadian Django Lovett, Ukrainian Andriy Protsenko and Bahamian Donald Thomas. The one who is experiencing a moment of exceptional condition is Zane Weir, at the staff of 21.63 meters in Padua on Sunday: the main square of Zurich will be the context of the shot put contest that awards the diamond on Wednesday. The very favorite, as a logical one,is the world record holder Ryan Crouser (23.37 in the season). The other American Joe Kovacs and the New Zealander Tom Walsh start from the second row, then the Europeans Filip Mihaljevic (Croatia) and Armin Sinancevic (Serbia) with measures not too superior to those of the blue.
