Stefano Mei asks for patience for Marcell Jacobs
He asks for patience for Marcell Jacobs Stefano Mei, Fidal president, on the sidelines of his candidacy for the presidency for the three-year period 2025-2028 presented in Milan.
"Jacobs is recovering, è clear that when one does not compete for so long there is some rust. He è trained, he is not sick and we have to be patient. We have to wait for him, because he è è an irreplaceable element for the relay because when he wasn't there in Munich and Eugene we didn't go to the finals. È it is true that the team è consists of four, but without Marcell something changes. However, even with the other guys we can be comfortable”.
È the hope in view of the upcoming European Championships in Rome, now just around the corner and where è an important delegation is expected. "The boys are all fine, Stano had this fracture during the World Relay Championships otherwise we would have qualified two relays to the Olympics in the march. The other problem è Weir we are trying to recover, he had a major ankle sprain while throwing. Those are the only two real problems".
“There will be 115 athletes è a record of records. We have tried to expand the team as much as possible,” Mei explains, “first becauseè the boys deserve it and then becauseè they have been driving us crazy with joy for three and a half years and they never cease to amaze. I think it's going to be an extraordinary European championship from the point of view of results for us, with so many great performances. You could get up to 15 medals but athletics è strange because itè è an extremely competitive" sport. Eyes on, of course, Tamberi: "He texted me today, he is fine. He avoided any problems by not going to Ostrava because of a small resentment".
