Maybe not It has the name of stars like Usain Bolt, Justin Gatlin or Shelly-Ann Fraser, but the name of Gianmarco Tamberi sure gives a lot to talk about in the athletic world championships that are held these days in Beijing.Beard is the identity feature of many men: the French rugby player Chabal earned the nickname "the caveman" for his beard and long hair, the populated beard of Harden is one of the images of the NBA, ZZ Top no it would be the same without his eternal beards...But Tamberi's beard is totally different.

Tamberi does not wear an excessively populated beard like Harden's, nor has he painted it colors, or wearing a look of a woodsman...simply, only shaves half a face .And always the same side, the right one.long, everything is said-, on the right side it looks a perfect shave.An image that has been repeated for years and that has not gone unnoticed by the public.

Superstitions

Many You might think that Tamberi's peculiar look is due to some lost bet with a training partner, to a new fashion that takes the hipster style to extremes never seen before, but the reason is much simpler.The Italian jumper himself explains a few weeks ago that likes to entertain the audience, and that his half shaved half shaved face has become a hallmark .But beyond the character, is superstition, a classic in the beards of athletes.

Tamberi ensures that half a beard brings you good luck, so why change what What works? The origin of the look of the Italian athlete dates back to 2011, although it has not been until now when a gap has been made in the elite of world athletics on their own merits.Precisely in 2011-with 19 years-achievement his, until now, the only great medal at the international level, bronze in the Junior European Championship in Tallinn (Estonia), a category reserved for athletes between the ages of 17 and 19.

A great promise

Already in 2012 he appeared with his beard in the European Absolute in Helsinki, where he was 5th, although he later stayed out of the Olympic final in London.In 2013 he lost the World Championship, but this 2015 Tamberi and his half beard have become stronger than ever.He has jumped 2.37 meters, which is the record for Italy, and is the third best athlete of the year.If he hangs a medal and n Beijing, we will have to see if it creates a trend and more and more athletes appear with half shaved faces.
