“Can we have two golds?”, Barshim asked him.

The official gestured, and the two athletes. Also, clasped hands and whooped for delight.

“I look at him, he looks at me, and we know it. We just look at each other and we know, that is it, it is done. There is no need,” Barshim said.

“He is one of my best companions, not only on the track but outside the track. We work together. Typically dream comes true. It is the true spirit, the sportsman’s soul. And we are here delivering this message.”

It was also a win-win circumstance for the Italians. He broke his lower leg days before the Rio Games in 2016.

“After my injuries, I just needed to come back. But at present, I have this gold, it’s mind-blowing,” he said. “I dreamed of this so many times.

“I was told in 2016 just before Rio there was a chance. I wouldn’t be able to compete anymore. It’s been a long trip.”
