Marcell Jacobs is preparing to live a 2025 of the protagonist. The Italian sprinter returned to talk about his present, revealing his plans to arrive in great shape with the events that await him next year, after a 2024 full of smiles, yes, but also of problems and disappointments, starting with Optimal 9”85 without a medal in Pariswhich evidently still needs to be metabolised as best as possible.
Jacobs ready to put Paris behind him
Months have passed since the half-disappointment of the Paris Olympics, and Marcell Jacobs proves that he needs new challenges and opportunities to leave that behind 9”85 in the 100m bittersweet centered in the wrong edition of the Games. Yes, because, as reiterated by the Italian sprinter interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport“with that 9.85 in the fastest 100 in history I would have been on the podium in every previous Olympics. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough to confirm the gold.”
The Rana plan for 2025
A disappointment that Jacobs, who also ended up in the middle of the story of the theft of private data, is determined to transform into drive and motivationthinking however with the awareness that he is no longer a kid and that the season will be very long. For this reason, under the guidance of coaches Rana Rider it was decided to proceed one step at a time: “I had lunch with Rana about ten days ago: we only defined the first month on the job, very blandwith no more than four sessions per week. After all, 2025, with the World Cup in Tokyo scheduled for mid-September, it will never end. So better go calmly“.
Training and family
Marcell has already taken back the workouts with the “Rana method” at the Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, which will also be his basis for the entire preparation, but first, as he revealed to the Roseagave himself a break to disconnect with his family: “I enjoyed it. We were also on holiday for two weeks Hawaii. A beautiful and fun place, but one I wouldn’t return to because it’s all very expensiveyou also pay for the air…”.
Room for improvement
The head and legs, however, now have to be put to work and the blue champion demonstrates that have clear ideas and goalswithout setting limits and aware of one’s means: “I start again from certainty of having margins. Last season, despite the many changes, I returned to the top and managed to give my all when it counted, confirms that the coach’s methods are right for me“.
Marcell ready to deal with anyone
“Now I have to consolidate everything, because I can improve in the transition phasebetween 15 and 25-30 meters, and then go and make the most of my horses. At that point, also given the great balance confirmed in Paris, I think I can play it with anyone. The relay? Yes, it’s a goal“, explained Jacobs, who concluded: “We will have many alternatives and if the United States continues to mess up… I also made fun of Jerome for how he won the medal ‘you did 10″1, 10″2 all year and now you are Olympic champion’, I wrote to him jokingly.”
