Before he even stepped foot onto a track in Paris, Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi has already had an Olympic experience that he’d like to forget.
Tamberi was chosen as one of two flag bearers for his country, which is a remarkable honor.
But the opening ceremony when horrendously wrong for the charismatic star when he accidentally dropped his wedding ring into the Seine River.
Tamberi said that his wedding band slid off his finger, bounced off the boat and went directly into the water, never to be seen again.
But Tamberi is clever. And he’s apparently a big-time wife guy. The 32-year-old reigning Olympic champion used the gaffe as a way to express his love to his wife and promise to remarry her.
Italian Flag Bearer Gianmarco Tamberi Sets The Bar For All Future Apologies
“I’m sorry, my love. I’m terribly sorry. Too much water, too many kilos lost in the last few months or perhaps the uncontainable enthusiasm of what we were doing,” Tamberi said in an Instagram post. “…But if it really had to happen, if I really had to lose this faith, I couldn’t imagine a better place. It will remain forever in the riverbed of the city of love, flown away while I was trying to carry the Italian tricolor as high as possible during the opening ceremony of the most important sporting event in the world.”
Gianmarco, my guy. You are setting the bar too high for the rest of us. (Which I guess is fitting of a high jumper).
Talk about an apology. Talk about an outpouring of love. No ring could ever live up to that sort of post.
Tamberi also proposed that his wife toss her ring aside in the Seine so that the two may marry again.
“I think there could be a huge poetic side behind yesterday’s misdeed and if you want we will throw yours into that river too so that they will be together forever and we will have one more excuse to, as you have always asked me, renew our promises and get married again.”
After that apology, how could she possibly say no.
