The moment two champions shared Olympic Gold! 🥇🥇

"We can continue with the jump-off." "Can we have two golds?"
Relive the moment at Tokyo 2020 where two high jumpers and close friends wrote Olympic history by sharing the Gold Medal!

I like how he asks "Can we have two golds" as if he's ordering 2 large fries 😂

[thizlam]

The story is crazy. Both of them are friends, training partners, and both has almost career ending injuries leading up to this. Both gave it their all while cheering each other on. To be able to share the gold after all they both went through, is truly a once in a lifetime story.

Qatar’s Bashim is so thoughtful with his words, love the guy.

This is what Olympic games are about. No politics, no posturing, just pure human emotion and celebration of the things we all love about sports - competition and comradery. Strong bodies & strong hearts.

The way his team hugged him after he made that choice, they were proud beyond his talent, they were proud of him as the amazing person he is. This moment is just pure gold.

This is what the Olympic spirit is all about.

"We looked into each other's eyes"

"Can we have two golds ?"
"Its possible. Depends if you decide."
(Both look at each other before referee finishes, no words needed)
"History, my friend. Olympic champions."

Chills...

No better moment.

I love that the official was still explaining, but they'd already decided

[arpan]

That's the Olympics for you. 2 best friends who have been though thick and thin on the top of the podium both deservedly winners. Iconic Moments.

During the interview with the Italian television (RAI), Barshim casually popped up behind Tamberi, kinda videobombing it 🤣 The Italian just grabbed him and went on saying "I can't wait to tell my children about this when I'll have them, if I'll have them. If not, I'll just tell his".
I mean come on, how pure can you two get? My heart 💕

[wendycumberbatch]

This is what sportmanship is all about. Congrats to you both gentlemen, may you both continue to reach even higher and be a motivation and an inspiration to many others.
