The Italian Gianmarco Tamberi was titled at the height, Tuesday evening in Budapest, while the French Mélina Robert-Michon had to settle for 9th place in the disc competition.
Budapest was the scene of all the emotions, Tuesday August 22, on the occasion of the fourth day of the world athletics championships. The evening ended with the Gianmarco Tamberi show. The Italian, who was missing a world medal on his record, won gold at height by clearing 2.36m on the first try. Here he is now Olympic champion, European champion and reigning world champion. It was well worth a few fiery laps of honor, a communion with a delighted public, and a jump in the river of the 3,000 m steeplechase!
Earlier in the evening, Mélina Robert-Michon did not hide her disappointment after her 9th place in the disc final (63.46 m). The Frenchwoman ended up far from the new world champion, the American Laulauga Tausaga, who made Hawaii shine. By improving her personal best by more than 4 meters (69.49 m), she beat her compatriot Valarie Allman (69.23 m) and China’s Bin Feng (68.20 m).
In the 1500m final, Kenyan big favorite Faith Kipyegon never flinched to win ahead of Ethiopian Diribe Welteji and Dutchman Sifan Hassan, who had fallen in the 10,000m. In the 3,000m steeplechase, Eugene’s world champion and reigning Olympic champion, Soufiane El Bakkali, grimaced at the dawn of the last lap, but he was clearly the strongest. The Moroccan dropped Ethiopian world record holder Lamecha Girma on the final corner. Kenya, which shines in this discipline, must be content with bronze with Abraham Kibiwot, third despite a fall.
