Marcell Jacobs: Italy Training Return – Athletics News

Italian sprinter Marcell Jacobs, after a two-year American break, will once again train in Italy under the direction of Paolo Camossi, who allowed him to win Olympic gold in the 100m and 4x100m relay in Tokyo in 2021, he announced on Tuesday January 20. Since his resounding 100m/4x100m double in Tokyo, Jacobs, 31, has returned to the ranks at world level, hampered by repeated injuries. He was certainly crowned European champion in the 100m in 2022 and 2024, but had to settle for 5th place in the 100m at the 2024 Paris Olympics and 4th in the 4x100m relay. Last September, at the Tokyo Worlds, the Italian was eliminated in the semi-final.
