But they both missed their allotted three attempts at 2.39m.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It led to officials asking whether they wanted to compete in a jump-off, to find a definitive winner, or share the gold medal. Unsurprisingly, they agreed to option B.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Barshim and Tamberi embraced as they sealed the deal that makes both of them Olympic champions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A jump-off can occur when there is a tie, as was the case on Sunday night. It results in the bar being lowered to the previous height both jumpers cleared. Each athlete gets one jump, and the bar is alternately lowered and raised to a different height each time until the first person fails to clear the bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Channel 7 athletics commentator David Culbert tweeted an explanation. \u201cThey changed the rules a few years ago so athletes can decide no jump off.

Italy&#8217;s Gianmarco Tamberi was facing Qatar&#8217;s Mutaz Essa Barshim in the final. Both of them jumped 2.37 meters and were on par! Olympic officials gave three more attempts to each of them, but they were unable to reach more than 2.37 meters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">One more attempt was given to two both of them, but Tampberi withdrew from the last attempt due to a serious leg injury. The moment when there was no other opponent in front of Barshim, the moment when he could have easily approached the gold alone!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">But Barshim asked the official &#8220;if the gold can be shared between the two of us if I withdraw from the final attempt ?&#8221; The official checks and confirms and says &#8220;yes then the gold will be shared between the two of you&#8221;. Barshim then had nothing to think about, announces withdrawal from the last attempt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Seeing this, the Italian opponent Tamberi ran and hugged Barshim and screamed!
