[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1693603, member: 14585"] Men's High Jump was an exciting competition. After 7' 7.25" it was down to 2 men, Italy's Tamberi and defending world champion Barshim from Qatar who had cleared 7' 10.5" eleven times in his career. neither had any misses and were tied for the Gold at 7' 8.5" which Barshim cleared easily, Then Tamberi, who had recovered from a career threatening leg injury the previous year, cleared the bar too, but it wiggled ever so slightly. At 7' 9.3" Barshim cleared the bar so easily even Tamberi applauded. Again, touching the bar ever so slightly, Tamberi also cleared it. 7' 10" and a surprising miss by Barshim opening the door for the Italian to win. But Tamberi failed at 7' 10" and the judge carrying the rule sheet came over to explain the jump off rules. As the judge began explaining, Barshim asked, Can there be 2 Gold Medals? The judge replied it's possible, if you both agree. The 2 men looked at each other grinning and nodding to each other and the celebration began, with the Italian going nuts at his unexpected Gold Medal finish. [/QUOTE]
