Qatar's Barshim and Italy's Tamberi Agree to Share High Jump Gold Medal

Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi were shaping up to have a jump off to determine who would win the gold medal in the high jump. Instead, the two made the decision that they would be co-champions of the event. Neither had missed any of their attempts going up to 2.37...

"Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi were shaping up to have a jump off to determine who would win the gold medal in the high jump. Instead, the two made the decision that they would be co-champions of the event. Neither had missed any of their attempts going up to 2.37 meters, but when the pair attempted 2.39, each were unsuccessful in their three attempts. Instead of continuing to see who would finally beat out the other, they agreed they would both sit at the top of podium."



One of the best moments and displays of sportsmanship I have seen in sports in a long time....a muslim man from Qatar and a Catholic from Italy decide to get along and share their gold medal win....lord knows if that was an American thug athlete, this would have never happened -- because these savages only care about themselves and hate their country......which is why it is such a great thing that the US is doing so poorly..they only lead in the total medal count by 2 medals..and China is showing themselves to be far superior to the US by winning 7 more gold medals than the US.....

Both countries should have had women competing in the men's event. That would have showed 'em!

Jesus God that's gay. I think i'm gonna hurl.

Did ya see Tiger out there, falling to the ground crying out with his knee and back? What about football players? Old school guys weren't scared of a little dementia. Fuck this. You do your "supplements." You take amphetamines to make weigh ins. You act like a MAN.

 

[Dekster]

So both getting a gold metal instead of one was some noble sacrifice?

 

[Kilroy2]

good story and they battle it out unit the end.
Nothing wrong with sharing the gold as all team sports share the gold. Even the bench warmers.

 

[whitehall]

Sounds like a chicken shit way to get a gold. Maybe boxers should quit fighting and share a medal.

 

[rightwinger]

Seems like a no brainer

You can have a jump off and one of you will win Gold and the other will win Silver

or you can both win Gold

Which would you choose?

 

[Burgermeister]

They should both get silver.

 

[rightwinger]

They should both get silver.

Maybe they should give medals for “sharing”
