In a heartwarming yet unfortunate turn of events, Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi has issued a sincere apology to his wife, Chiara Bontempi, after losing his wedding ring during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. The incident occurred when the ring slipped off his finger while he was waving the Italian flag on a boat in the Seine River during the ceremony.

Tamberi took to Instagram to express his remorse, citing the rain, his recent weight loss, and his enthusiasm as contributing factors to the mishap. He wrote a heartfelt message, apologizing for his carelessness and promising to make it up to his wife.

In a romantic gesture, Tamberi proposed that his wife throw her ring into the Seine as well, so they can renew their vows and have the rings together forever. This sweet suggestion has melted the hearts of fans and followers, who are now eagerly awaiting the couple’s next move.

Despite this setback, Tamberi is set to compete in the men’s high jump competition on August 7, where he is favored to win another gold medal. Fans are rooting for him, not only for his athletic prowess but also for his love and devotion to his wife.
