Flag bearing duties for Italian high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi went a bit awry during the opening ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympics, and it had nothing to do with the green, white and red flag he was waving.
He lost his wedding ring.
Tamberi revealed in an Instagram post that the Seine River, where all the country’s boats had been traveling on during the opening ceremonies, is the new home for his wedding ring as it fell to the bottom.
