Gianmarco Tamberi third at Golden Gala
Gianmarco Tamberi, applauded and cheered by the crowd that flocked to the Olympic Stadium, finished in third place in his own high jump competition in the Roman leg of the Diamond League. The Italian, in fact, jumped 2.27 meters, finishing third tied with Ukraine’s Doroshchuk, failing his three attempts with the pole positioned at 2.30 meters.
Lorenzo Simonelli disappoints at the Golden Gala in Rome in the 110m hurdles. He closes in sixth place in 13.34 on the same track that two months ago had seen him graduate as European champion in 13.05. “This year è started with a bang, too bad for the Olympics because I believed in it – he told Rai – È it was a mistake, it happens but we must not get demoralized. There will be many other opportunities”. Speaking about the evening, he added: “L’Olimpico è always a thrill, but the condition was not that of the European Championships. I am glad I participated, despite everything I am happy because é the audience è super warm”. Frenchman Sasha Zhoya wins in 13.18.
Andy Diaz, Olympic bronze medalist in the triple, wins the Roman leg of Diamond League. To win the Golden Gala he jumps 17.32, while finishing second is Germany’s Max Heb with 17.01 and third is Brazil’s Almir dos Santos with 16.89. “I want to win everything, today I did it in front of this wonderful audience. The world record? I feel I can do it, I feel it in my legs. Today it didn't come out but it will come out soon”. Soì Andy Diaz. “&Eegrave; the first time I compete here, not even Paris was like thisì. Not è the size I wanted but I won”, he concluded.
Leonardo Fabbri, gold medalist the European Championships in Rome 2024, closes the Roman leg of Diamond League in 2° place. The Italian weightlifter è managed to throw up to 21.70 meters, which earned him the place of honor. Triumphing è was, instead, the U.S. Ryan Crouser first with 22.49 meters, a measure that earned him the meet record, while 3° place è went to the other star athlete, Payton Otterdahl, who è stopped at 21.63 meters.
“The fifth throw è was a bad throw, I let myself go and instead it was good, in my opinion almost 23. Unfortunately, my legs were not 100 percent today, but that’s okay, I enjoyed it. È it was nice to get the warmth of the stadium. I want to finish the season throwing 23 meters because I know I am worth it. The past cannotò be changed, you can only correct mistakes”. These are the words of Leonardo Fabbri after his second place in the Rome leg of the Diamond League.
Then, after the nice little joke with Tamberi, who jumped on the shoulders of the Italian during the interview, Fabbri wanted to emphasize how “Gimbo è a great guy, he gives energy to everyone. È he was the first to call me when I was getting results and he did it after Paris as well, that shows the work he is doing”, he concluded.

“It doesn’t seem real to me. It’s amazing to have this trophy in my hands, I”m so excited. Smiling and incredulous stands Jasmine Paolini with the Cup in her hand savoring her triumph at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia. First Italian player able to impose herself in the home tournament thanks to a two-set victory over the American Coco Gauff. “Congratulations to you Coco for this final, keep it up you and your team, good luck for the coming weeks”.
With the protocol over, room for thanks. And there’s for everyone: “A thank you to my team and my family, my friends who always support me, it’s thanks to them that we have this cup in our hands today. Thank you to those who organized this tournament, to Fitp who always support us, the volunteers, the referees, the ball catchers, the public who have been special, the doctors, Dr. Parra who always supports me, they are always with us, it is a behind-the-scenes job that really weighs a lot”.
And then it is just and still emotion. Overwhelming, that you cannot say or describe but only savor. Smiling, as always, without forgetting where you started from and the’last step that is still missing to make this edition of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia truly unforgettable: “I do not know what else to say, it is a dream to be here. I came as a child to watch this tournament and to think one day that I could lift this cup was not even in my dreams. Thank you for supporting President Mattarella, at the end of last year we went to the Quirinal and this time we managed to bring him to the Foro Italico. It has been a dream two weeks, it is not over yet, tomorrow we have the doubles, I am not forgetting, we have to stay focused and I hope you will come a little bit earlier to see the doubles final because we need you”.
Beforehand, however, it was Coco Gauff, beaten but not defeated, who paid tribute to her for her success: “I am happy to have made it to the final in Rome and I am happy for you Jas for your victory – began the former US Open champion – You are a wonderful person. It’s always tough to face you and I hope you can bring home the trophy tomorrow in doubles as well. I will bring home this cup and I know how much work we have done to get it. It will be for next time”.

Charles Leclerc is furious after Imola qualifying: “The first thing to do is to apologize to the fans, it hurts the team as well. Such a level of performance is not acceptable and we have to react”.
“Aston Martin was smart with the tires. We can flip the tires, put the front tires in the back and the back tires in the front, but the car doesn’t go enough. I have been saying this for a while’there is no potential in the car”.
He was echoed by Lewis Hamilton: “I am devastated, we worked so hard for this my first race in Italy with Ferrari. The car was going, I thought we would be there. But we couldn’t pass and we have to analyze why everyone improved and we didn’t. I do not have an answer at the moment”.
“The setup wasn’t perfect, but we couldn’t go any faster than that. We mounted the new tire, but for some reason it didn’t go and had no life left in it. We struggle to use the tires, I in my lap I don”t think I did anything wrong.

In the final, with President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella in the stands,- the 29-year-old from Bagni di Lucca, No. 5 in the ranking and No. 6 in the seeding, defeated 6-4 6-2, in an hour and 29 minutes of play, the U.S. Coco Gauff, No. 3 WTA and fourth seed.
