After a season marred by injuries, Marcell Jacobs prepares to get back on track at the Budapest World Cup, scheduled from 19 to 27 August and live on Sky Sport. The 100m Olympic champion, who lacks a world championship medal in his career, is back from a period marked by injuries, so much so that he only ran last June 9 in Paris, finishing with a 10”21. “It hasn’t been an easy season, made up only of downs – explained Jacobs – Now I’m fine, I’m finding a good shape despite the few days of training. I hope to transform energy into strength to run fastFor Jacobs, in fact, the appointment in Budapest can be a reason for confidence in Paris 2024: “Doing well in this World Cup can give confidence in the Olympics” said the sprinter born in El Paso.
“I’ll tell you about my injury”
“The most frustrating part of this period was don’t understand the problem” said Jacobs who explained the physical problem that kept him still for a long time: “It all started in early May when I started to feel tension in the hamstring, connected to the buttock – he says – I didn’t give much weight to this, making the situation worse. It was some kind of lesion of the sciatic nerve sheath, this did not allow me to run or even sit on the sofa. The job was trying to heal the sheath while training at the same time.”
