Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi (32), who is considered Woo Sang-hyeok’s rival in the men’s high jump at the 2024 Paris

Olympics, lost his wedding ring during the opening ceremony. Tamberi dropped his wedding ring into the Seine River while waving the Italian flag vigorously during the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony held on the 26th (Korean time).

At the time, Tamberi was waving the Italian flag vigorously while standing on a boat with fencer Ariana Erigo (35) as the opening ceremony flag bearer.

The wedding ring that Tamberi was wearing slipped off her finger due to the heavy rain. It bounced off the edge of the boat and fell into the Seine.

Seeing this, her colleagues made a mischievous joke, “How are you going to explain this to your wife?”

A day later, on the 27th, Tamberi posted an apology to her wife on her Instagram. He wrote, “I’m sorry,” and “But if I have to lose my wedding ring, I can’t imagine a better place than Paris (the city of love).” He added,

“I’ll go home with a gold medal that’s bigger than my wedding ring.” Tamberi also suggested throwing his wife’s ring into the river. He said, “If we do that, the rings can stay together forever and we’ll have one more excuse to get married again.” Netizens who saw the post responded, “This is the love of the century,” “So romantic,” and “I hope you can have both love and a medal.” Tamberi is considered a rival of South Korean high jumper Woo Sang-hyeok (28). Tamberi shared first place (2.37m) with Mutaz Es Barsim at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021. 파워볼사이트
