Athletics: Jacobs, I hope for a wild card for the Diamond Finals

(ANSA) – MUNICH, AUGUST 17 – “I am the first who wants to compete against the sprinters of the USA, and now the right opportunity would be the Diamond League finals (in Zurich on September 7 and 8). points needed, a wild card would be needed but I don’t want the diamond, just compete. I hope World Athletics and the Diamond League can make this possible. “

So Marcell Jacobs from Monaco, where after winning the gold in the 100 meters of the Europeans he doesn’t want to stop. His goal is to compete with those American sprinters that he was unable to face at the World Championships in Eugene, due to the physical problems that led him to retire before the semifinals. “I want to compete against them, the Americans – says Jacobs -. This motivates me a lot and I will try to do the best.

Now I feel in good shape, and that’s why I want to keep competing. Meanwhile yesterday it was a very great emotion to have won the gold after all the problems I had. But certainly the sensations compared to an Olympics are different “. (ANSA).
