On Sunday night, a rare moment in Olympics history took place as two Olympians shared a gold medal for the Olympics\u2019 high jump.<\/p>\n

Qatar\u2019s Mutaz Barshim and Italy\u2019s Gianmarco Tamberi both ended with jumps of 2.37m, but both failed at their attempts to clear 2.39. After the two Olympians failed their three attempts each, an Olympic official approached Barshim and Tamberi to offer a jump-off to decide the winner.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Barshim asked the official \u201cCan we have two golds?\u201d<\/p>\n

With the approval of the official, the two looked at each other and knew \u201cthat is it, it is done. There\u2019s no need,\u201d Barshim explained to CBC News.<\/strong><\/a> \u201cHe is one of my best friends, not only on the track, but outside the track. We work together. This is a dream come true. It is the true spirit, the sportsman spirit, and we are here delivering this message.\u201d<\/p>\n
