AI-generated summary
Marcell Jacobs suffered an injury during the European Championships that prevented him from competing for a medal. The athlete showed significant signs of technical recovery during the year.
One step at a time, without haste but without stopping, to arrive ready for the great goal - the World Cup in Beijing in 2027 - in which to leave our mark. Marcell Jacobs, after the bitterness left by the injury at the European Championships which effectively deprived the Italian of a possible medal, is ready to return. "We started talking about the season by preparing directly for the outdoor events and aiming for the world championships in Beijing. We have to be honest, when a champion trains he does it for the big events. We care about the blue jersey, Jacobs has a great desire to do and train", the words of Luca Camossi, coach of the blue champion.
The muscle injury is now just a bad memory that deprived Jacobs of the icing, represented by the gold in Birmingham. But I still think a beautiful cake and a very beautiful year came out. For me the greatest victory is having seen Jacobs run better than in Tokyo, technically speaking, so I am very, very satisfied. He did an excellent Golden Gala, that 9'67'' done this year from a technical point of view was the best race of his life for how he ran. The gray moment has been completely overcome, all the signs are encouraging", adds Camossi, ready to follow the blue by going back and forth between Italy and the United States with the first trip in December and then a new stage at the beginning of the year to aim for the first races in view of the big event in September 2027, when we will run for the World Championship in Beijing also with the team because "both Marcell and I care a lot about the blue jersey, the relay is the chance to do something else very good", Camossi's thoughts.
Who does not forget the great event of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, probably the last great opportunity for Jacobs to seek a historic encore, which "are very close. The ones in Tokyo are far away, but the spirit is the same, the desire is the same and therefore you just have to work well and make few mistakes because the truth is that whoever makes fewer mistakes wins. We have two beautiful years ahead of us".
