After their misses, an Olympic official came over to Barshim and Tamberi, saying that they could go to a jump-off to determine who took home the gold medal.

“Can we have two golds?” Barshim asked.

“It’s possible,” the official replied.

By the time the words were halfway out of the official’s mouth, Barshim and Tamberi had already looked at each other, given a nod, and leaped into each other’s arms…

“I still can’t believe it happened,” Tamberi said after the win, per the Associated Press. “Sharing with a friend is even more beautiful. … It was just magical.”
