Now that the first one is over we travel lighter: Marcell Jacobs finishes the 100 meters in Jacksonville in 10.11, same time as training partner Bromell who places first in this good family competition to remove unnecessary tension and rediscover the taste of competition. Time, done with 0.9 tailwind, The Olympic qualification that requires 10 seconds flat is not worth it, but it runs more or less in the averages of the period in which no one has yet launched the challenge and defined the level. Too soon.
To Jacobs was interested in testing the condition: «We were surprised by the fact that the straight was changed, starting like this so then I felt at ease. I thought I'd go faster but in my opinion they did a few errors in the photo finish». The box of that debut which began to drag with it too many useless questions was ticked. Today he joins the Italian relay team gathering in Miamiin a few days the World Specialty Championships in the Bahamas and there we need to find the placement that is worth the Games immediately, for the rest there is time, also to understand how much it can yield the work done with the new coach Rana Reider in Florida.
The sprint has yet to establish seasonal hierarchies, for now it has only told us that Africa is tired of waiting. Yesterday in Suzhou, China, in second stage of Diamond League the South African Simbine beats in 10″01, in a comeback, the 60 meter indoor world champion Coleman (10”04) and the 2022 World Championships gold Kerley (10”11), with practically non-existent wind (-0, 1) in conditions far from ideal. The entire meeting remains subduedincluding the long shot competition in which he made his debut Mattia Furlanififth, with regular jumps, all around the 7.88 meters with which he marks the measurement, next release in Savona on May 15th. Akani Simbine he is the only one satisfied. Before him, in recent months, Letsile Tebogo, a twenty-year-old from Botswana, stood out: world record in the 300 meters (30″69) and best time trial of the year in the 200 (19″71).
Marcell Jacobs' super workout in the gym: this is how the fastest man in the world prepares
Yesterday, among the good intentions for this 2024, he wrote: «My road begins where the asphalt ends», to establish the link with the origins and also to give a warning. It might be time to look at new routes and Africa has never won a sprinter's race at the Games. Italy knows well what this means, they show up in Paris with the 100m title to defend, a gold that no one would have awarded us before Tokyo. The predictions make him look far away even now, even if at the moment it is really difficult to give weight to the predictions. Today it's Lyles' turn, triple world gold in 2023, competing in Bermuda. At the top of the ranking of the fastest of 2024 is Christian Miller, born in 2006, one of the guys who have only raced on US tracks and the 9″93, recorded in one of the races with Tortu in Clermont, tells little about him and even less than the 100 that we will see and for which we have just begun to throb.
