Italian Marcell Jacobs, this is his first victory in the 100 meters at the rally in Savona, after winning the Olympic gold in Tokyo.
He ran to the semifinals in 9.99 seconds, while in the finals he passed the finish line in 10.04 seconds.
“I struggled a little, I thought I would run better than in the semifinals. I miss that spark a little bit. “I thought this week without training would help, but this is the first race of the year, there is still time until the World Championships,” said Jacobs.
The World Athletics Championships begin on July 15 in Eugene, Oregon.
In March, he won a gold medal at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade.
