'Did the math on probable victory' says high jump champ, 32

2020 Tokyo high jump champ Gianmarco Tamberi said Wednesday he may take part in Los Angeles 2028, when he will be 36.
    Speaking in a lectio magistralis at the University of Urbino which awarded him an honorary degree in Sports Sciences, Gimbo said: "I did all the math on the probability that I would have of winning the Olympics in Los Angeles and I am very clear about what it would mean for me on an emotional level even just to try after everything I have been through".
