Important updates arrive which see Marcell Jacobs as the absolute protagonist, now there are no longer any doubts: sights on a new gold medal
It’s a Marcell Jacobs who doesn’t know the word tired at all, the one who is preparing for the next events on the track. She demonstrated this clearly on Thursday morning when he showed up at the Colle to witness, in the front row, the delivery of the flag. She only slept two hours after the awards ceremony 4×100. She absolutely didn’t want to and couldn’t miss this appointment.
Immediately after the ceremony he gave himself to his fans with autographs, selfies and even interviews. Like the one released to the microphones of the ‘Giornale di Brescia’. After having archived the European Athletics Championships, now the only thought is aimed at Paris Olympics. Jacobs intends to make full haul again, just like he did in Tokyo three years ago.
The meeting with the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, charged it even more. The head of state himself did not want to miss theOlympic where he gave his important support. A victory not only for the public who came to the stadium, but above all for him: “It was an honor to have had him at the stadium. We gave him a joy that he desired.”
Olympics, Jacobs talks about himself: “Transforming pressure into energy”
Together with his friend Gianmarco Tamberi they will be the two athletics “stars” who will represent the tricolor in the French capital. A responsibility that Jacobs takes very willingly. The runner born in 1994 thinks above all of the younger ones in encouraging them to practice this sport. An activity that, in fact, can take away important satisfactions from you in exchange for the necessary sacrifices. This is, after all, the only possible way to achieve goals as great as those achieved by Marcell Jacobs.
Then a message to young people who must not only think about victories, but also about defeats: “Those also help to restart“. Even if in Paris there is only one watchword: victory. There pressure it is there and he feels it, there is no point in trying to hide it, but this is not a problem for him at all: “I know how to handle it. I felt it in Rome even though I knew I had to win and I did“. In the calendar before leaving for France there are a lot of training sessions and then some races: first Turku and then the La Spezia Championships.
Woe, however, to talk about “arrival”: Jacobs says he still wants to grow a lot. Especially through training where only in that way can he bring out important performances. In conclusion he reveals what his final goal is in Paris. An answer that may even seem obvious: “I want to win the 100m gold and improve my personal best by 9″80“.
