Italian athlete Tamberi was taken away by ambulance. The athlete spoke about his condition
The 2020 Olympic high jump champion Gianmarco Tamberi from Italy was taken away by ambulance. Recently, it was reported that he had kidney stones, and it seems his condition has worsened.
Tamberi had mentioned on August 4 that he was suspected of having kidney stones, and today he shared more about his health issues.
"It's been 10 hours, but the renal colic hasn't gone away. The pain I've felt since this morning, as intense as it is, is nothing compared to what's happening inside me. Even my last bit of certainty is about to disappear...
I was just taken to the emergency room by ambulance after vomiting blood twice. The doctors will now conduct additional tests to understand what's happening. I'll keep you updated because the many messages and the love you've shown deserve a response.
Today, I dreamed of anything but living through such a nightmare…" wrote Tamberi.
Let's remember that the high jump final at the Olympics is today at 19:00 Central European Time.
