Olympic Games 100m champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs announced Thursday that he will not run again until 2022.
Almost unknown a year ago, the Texas-born Italian sprinter claimed a shock triumph in the 100m at the Tokyo Olympics as well as gold in the 4x100m relay.Jacobs’s previous career highlight was this year’s European indoor 60m title. After that, he was to appear on September 3 in Brussels and on September 9 in Zurich for the season-ending Diamond League Finals.
However, Italian media said he immediately called a halt after a fall blamed on “the accumulated fatigue of the Olympics as well as a knee problem,” reported Italian daily, Il Corriere della Sera.“It’s a dream, it is fantastic. Maybe tomorrow I can imagine what they are saying, but today it is incredible,” he said after his gold-medal-winning triumph in Tokyo, the first of the post-Usain Bolt era.“We changed the starts. And we work mentality. Mentality, good food, good physiotherapy.
