High jumpers Mutaz Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi are our 'Heroes of the Weekend'

Each Monday during the Olympics I’m going to bring you my “Hero of the Weekend,” in which I shoutout someone who did something pretty incredible in Tokyo, something that made me stand back and say WOW.

This week I have not one, but two heroes – high jumpers Mutaz Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi.

I don’t know if you saw what these two guys did over the weekend but it was pretty darn cool. They were the last two standing in the competition and instead of having a jump off for gold, the longtime friends decided to do something awesome
