Champion Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi becomes newest PUMA athlete

Rome, March 21: Global Sports Brand PUMA takes a step up-literally-by partnering with one of the most successful Italian athletes in the sports scene, Gianmarco Tamberi.

The renowned World Indoor and European High Jump Champion is the newest addition to the world's fastest brand. Not only is Tamberi a sports legend, he also has a charismatic persona who embodies PUMA's values and characteristics seamlessly. He's been seen sporting a full beard during qualifications and shaving half of it for the finals.

His winning attitude and humbling outlook have allowed him to win gold on many occasions, boasting a personal best of 2.39m in the high jump. Tamberi has grown remarkably fast since his early competitions.

In 2015, he broke the Italian high jump record twice, 2.34 meters first in Cologne and, second with 2.37 meters in Eberstadt.

Similarly, in 2016, he won the Diamond League Meeting in Monaco just prior to the Rio Games. He has become one of the great artists of the sport, respected in the business and loved by fans.

"It's a great honour for me to join the fastest team ever. I wish this new partnership can push me over any limits, raise the bar even higher and that we can celebrate many successes together," said Gianmarco Tamberi.

In addition to his hunger for his craft, Tamberi has a young adventurous spirit and a unique hustler style. He pushes further, trains harder and lives faster; he is a living representation of PUMA's values as a company.

PUMA is happy to welcome Gianmarco Tamberi into the family and is looking forward to celebrating his upcoming competitions and future triumphs.
