The athlete apologized to his wife for dropping his wedding ring into the Seine River at this year’s Paris Olympics.
It slipped off his finger while he was whooping it up with teammates during the flotilla of nations at Friday’s opening ceremony, he wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post.
These things happen, Gianmarco.
“Probably all three things, the fact remains that I felt [my ring] slip away, I saw it fly. … I followed it with my gaze until I saw it bounce inside the boat.”
“But if it really had to happen, if I really had to lose it, I couldn’t imagine a better place,” Tamberi continued. “It will remain forever in the riverbed of the City of Love.”
You had us at “better place,” dude.
Hopefully, he’ll get a similar outcome with his wife.
