Marcell Jacobs thinks European Outdoors 2026!

Jacobs thinks Birmingham

JACKSONVILLE (USA): Olympic 100 m winner Marcell Jacobs confirmed for La Gazzetta dello Sport he will not compete in the indoor season and will concentrate on outdoors. “I had many doubts about my future, I didn’t train for three months. But this break has been useful: I didn’t rush, I listened to my head and body and after long reflection, together with my family, I decided to keep going. I’m back in Jacksonville, in Florida. I won’t do any indoors but I’ll try to win a third european gold in a row in the 100. We might spend the Summer season in Desenzano, my Italian city, where I founded an Academy and a Sports Center. Once again: no rush, though. I need to be physically at 100%. Last year’s injury limited me a lot. Then I worked on strenght, but I neglected the elasticity of my action: from 70 metres onwards I was somehow just pulling my legs up. I lost fluidity and now I need to rebuilt, but staying long without competing would be counterproductive. And in the long term my focus is on Los Angeles 2028,” he said. From La Gazzetta dello Sport.
