Marcell Jacobsafter also making fun of those who expressed concerns about his debut in the outdoor season, he returned to competing effectively. The two-time Olympic champion kicked off the dance in the 100 meters, signing the time of 10.11 (0.9 m/s tailwind) a Jacksonville (Florida, USA), where he has been training for a few months under the guidance of the well-known coach Rana Rider.
A performance that did not steal the eye from a chronometric point of view, but which has a positive value, taking into account the moment of the season and in any case coming second only at the photo-finish by three thousandths of a second to the Canadian Andrè De Grasse. A result conditioned by a somewhat lethargic start, but convincing for progression.
“The season has finally begun! How nice to be back competing… I admit that I was a little tense and had a lot of unknowns but it was an excellent race. The most important part was to break the ice and check how the training was going. I never downloaded for this race, it was part of the training week and this is even more important!“, Marcell wrote on social media.
“As always, thank you for your warm support. And just the beginning of a great season. Now head and heart to the relay world championships. I love you“, Jacobs added.

The blue, in fact, will be at the start next weekend (4-5 May) in Nassau (Bahamas) for the World Relayswhere he will contribute to the result of the 4×100. On May 18th we will see him again in the 100 meters race in Rome. At this moment, our standard bearer occupies 15th place in the world ranking of the 100 meters (a figure that also takes into account the results obtained on 50, 55 and 60 metres). Jacobs has 1,310 points under his belt in a ranking that takes into consideration the best five results obtained by athletes over the last two years. A ranking led by the American Noah Lyles with 1,467 points.
