He won twelve medals (ten of these at senior level), at the International athletics competitions.[3] He has 28 caps in national team from 1998 to 2011.[4] He participated in three Olympic Games and four world championships. In 2007, Gibilisco was suspended by the FIDAL (Italian Athletics Federation) with a two-year ban, due to his involvement in the "Oil for Drugs" case and his relation with suspect doctor Carlo Santuccione, although he had never tested positive, but two months after the Board of Appeals reverses the ruling and decide for acquittal.[5]

In 2011, he could obtain 5.70 m, minimum qualification to the IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, but the IAAF did not approve because the result was obtained in an esibition event in a streets in Landau, Germany.[6] In 2012 he jumped 5:52 m in Liévin, France indoor and, as a result of an injury, not disputing the outdoor season thus losing the possibility to participate in his fourth Olympics.[7]

Gibilisco retired from pole vaulting in August 2014.[12]
