Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi and Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim, the defending Olympic champions in the high jump, authored perhaps the most heartwarming moment of the Tokyo Olympics when they agreed to share the gold medal. On Wednesday, the pair created another touching moment during the men's high jump qualification round at the Stade de France.
As Barshim was preparing for his final jump of the qualification, the Qatar native pulled up with an apparent injury, hopping on one foot before falling to the ground in pain. The first person to check on Barshim? Tamberi.
