In the early morning of February 28, Beijing time, at the Indoor Athletics Championships held in Ancona, Italy, Tokyo Olympic champion Jacobs won the indoor 60 meters in 6.55 seconds, where he won the fourth race since he entered the competition in early February this year.
In the early hours of this morning, Jacobs ran a time of 6.57 seconds. In the final, there was a situation where the opponent rushed to run, and the second shot started to make his start more affected, and finally won the championship in 6.55 seconds. In athletics competitions, if a runner rushes to run and then runs, the impact on other athletes is still relatively large, especially the sprint distance, the impact is very large, when the attention is highly concentrated, and when starting again, the mentality will be affected. In the athletics competition of the Olympic Games, there is zero tolerance for running.
Jacobs, a double gold medalist in the athletics event at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, won the 100m final with a time of 9.80 seconds and won the Olympic men's 4×100 relay with his teammates in 37.50 seconds. At the beginning of February this year, Jacobs appeared in the official competition again after half a year. In the Indoor 60 meters in Berlin, he won the championship in 6.51 seconds. On the 12th in Łódź, Poland, he achieved his second victory in 6.49 seconds. He then finished on the podium again in 6.50 seconds at the Levin Chambers in France.
As far as his performance in this competition is concerned, there is still a certain gap between this achievement and Su Bingtian, Coleman and other players. In 2018, Su Bingtian won the silver medal at the World Indoor Athletics Championships again with an Asian record of 6.42 seconds in the men's 60 meters, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win a men's sprint medal in the World Series, and also creating the best result for asian athletes in this event. In 2021, Su Bingtian set a new Asian record in the men's 100m semi-finals at the Tokyo Olympics with 9.83 seconds. The first 60 meters took only 6 seconds and 29 seconds! Currently, the 60m world record was set by American Coleman, with a time of 6.34 seconds. Because it is a 100-meter race, the results will not be officially certified, but Su Bingtian's strength is beyond doubt.
Jacobs was Italy's first men's 100m champion and a rare 100m champion in Europe. Su Bingtian is the Asian record holder in the men's 60 meters and 100 meters, creating a history of becoming an Asian legend. In the 60-meter event, Jacobs may still have a certain gap compared to Asian flyer Su Bingtian. I believe that in the future, he can achieve better results with his talents, and hope that they can all surpass themselves and create history again.
