(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 01 – It will not be necessary to wait until the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene on May 28 to see Marcell Jacobs on the track in the 100 meters. The Olympic champion has announced that he will make his debut on Saturday 7 May in Kenya at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi, in the Gold stage of the Continental Tour, the second most important circuit after the Diamond League. The blue sprinter of the Fiamme Oro will be able to take advantage of the environmental conditions, with the approximately 1800 meters of altitude of the Kenyan capital. The double gold medal from Tokyo therefore chose to anticipate his first 100 meters as an Olympic champion, before facing the 200m challenge scheduled in Savona on May 18 and then the big match at Hayward Field in the World Cup stadium on May 28, against many of the best sprinters. In Nairobi the presence of Filippo Tortu (Fiamme Gialle), Olympic champion with the relay, had already been announced in recent weeks. Jacobs will also find himself face to face for the first time in post-Tokyo with the American Fred Kerley, the Olympic silver medalist in Japan.
