'Tamberi wants to compete, he is evaluating' says Mei

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 10 - Italian Athletics Federation President Stefano Mei said Saturday Gianmarco Tamberi, in hospital on a drip after a new renal colic, wanted to compete to defend his Olympic high jump title Saturday night but was "evaluating" the situation.
    "Tamberi is doing evaluations, let's see how the situation develops. He wants to compete, we have to see if there is nothing problematic. It is clear that he must not take any risks," said Mei.
    "I haven't spoken to him, he is having an examination, I don't know in what context". (ANSA).
