Millrose Games in New York, Marcell Jacobs forfeit

This è what è was communicated by the staff of Tokyo Olympic 100-meter champion Marcell Jacobs, who was expected to compete in the indoor 60 at the New York meet, the second event of his indoor season after last Sunday’s 6"63 in Boston.

"Marcell Jacobs will not be able to participate in the Millrose Games today because of a flu-like condition that struck him once he arrived in New York and which he has not overcome, indeed has è worsened in recent hours. È an event, the Millrose Games, which is extremely prestigious and to which Marcell cared very much".

Jacobs did not hide his sorrow, in a story posted on Instagram: "As soon as I arrived in New York I è got a fever and instead of getting better è it got worse in the last few hours. I am so sorry becauseé I really cared about this race, but now I have to think about recovering as best I can".
