Marcell Jacobs Teases Fans with Enigmatic Post

With an enigmatic post on his X account, Marcell Jacobs scared all the fans. The Italian athlete wrote: "It's April and I haven't competed yet.. surely the season is already over! I'm sorry". The Paris 2024 Olympics will be the big event for Jacobs, as well as for all Italian athletes. The comment of the Olympic champion born in 1994 sounds more like an ironic remark to the many previous comments from the press. A way to defuse and reduce tension, warding off negative judgments. In response to Jacobs' post, the comment from his coach, Rana Reider, with a smile made it clear how much the two-time Olympic champion was using humor to tease those expressing doubts and concerns. As reported by today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, Marcell's coach, Reider, clarified some aspects: "Marcell has trained well, we had to review the whole way of working on strength, especially in the gym with the aid of a particular machine to improve assistance and resistance. Coming from many physical problems, we must therefore avoid them reoccurring". Jacobs is expected at the World Relays, scheduled for May 4-5 in Nassau (Bahamas). In Italy, Marcell should make his debut on May 18 in Rome, at the Sprint Festival at the Stadio dei Marmi.
