Athletics, good first for Marcell Jacobs who sees Paris
The blue outfielder runs in 10"11 his first test of the season
Good first. Jacobs's return to the track è definitely encouraging. Absent for a full 230 days, the Azure shows he is already in good shape. In that of Jacksonville, he placed second in the 100-meter race with a good 10"11 (0.9 meters per second favorable wind). Better than him only De Grasse, his training partner and Olympic champion in the 200 meters.
"I am very happy to be back competing. I needed to get those feelings back. We were surprised that after entering the field, it was decided to reverse the direction of the race. It è thus; lost some time and the warm-up was è prolonged. The start è was “ni, ni”. But in the second part all in all I felt comfortable. I am very satisfied: on the start there’è to work", the words of the blue reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
The blue star looks to the upcoming events with great confidence: "Now head to the Miami meet, then we go to the Bahamas to qualify the relay team to the’Olympics and continue so’
. Over everything prevails the satisfaction of being back, especially without experiencing any physical problems. È a good starting point. And thanks for the support".
The performance in Jacksonville brings Jacobs closer, by a lot, to Paris. Although he did not record the time needed for a Games pass, the blue è virtually qualified. He will most likely be repechaged this week and be certain to participate in the next Olympics.
