Photos of Gianmarco Tamberi’s jubilation over winning the world title
A month after his world triumph in Budapest, the only gold missing from his collection of wonders, Gianmarco Tamberi è officially nominated for European Athlete of the Year. The ‘champion of everything’ simultaneous master of the Olympic, world and European titles, è is among the ten Golden Tracks nominees in the “Men’s European Athlete of the Year” category, in the company of the continent's other greats, from Swedish pole king Armand Duplantis to Norwegians Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Karsten Warholm.
The winner of the award, a classic end-of-season recognition, will be unveiled at this year's European Athletics ceremony in Vilnius, Lithuania, on Oct. 21. Tamberi can boast of the world title in the high hurdles won in Hungary on Aug. 22 with a world lead of 2.36 and the role of captain in the first historic Italian victory at the European Team-Cup Europe Championships in Chorzow in June. But above all, and this goes even beyond athletics and sports, he can count on his ability to engage, excite and entertain audiences that has few equals in the world.
“One month since one of the most important sporting feats of my career and still hearing ‘champion of everything’ gives me chills after what I have been through,” he wrote today on personal social profiles, “but even more, it gives me chills to think about the affection you have shown me and the wonderful words you have said to me in these days. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you who are and forever will be, the most beautiful part of this trip. Italians do it better!”.
At the announcement of his candidacy, the Marche-based jumper of the Fiamme Oro immediately received an avalanche of ‘likes’ on European Athletics profiles: you can vote until October 2 and the preferences expressed will contribute 25 percent to the final decision, which will be determined, for the other three quarters, by the vote of the Federations, the media and a panel of experts. The same formula will also define the winners of the “Rising Star” category, in which long distance runners Larissa Iapichino and Mattia Furlani are candidates.

Davis Cup, not just Jannik Sinner: Lorenzo Musetti is ready
The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

NBA, Milwaukee snaps up Giannis Antetokounmpo
Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

GP Las Vegas, Carlos Sainz has hope for constructors’ title
Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
