Marcell Jacobs got a standing ovation
at Tokyo airport on Monday on his way to embarking on a flight
back to Italy following his golden sprint double at the
Olympics.
Jacobs, who was not a big name before Tokyo 2020, won the
individual 100m race to take Usain Bolt's crown as the world's
fastest man and helped Italy to a sensational victory in the
4x100m relay.
Jacobs pulled out his two gold medals and put them on as he
posed for photos with passengers, airport staff and reporters on
Monday.
Italy had its best-ever Summer Olympic in Tokyo, winning 40
medals, including 10 golds, 10 silvers and 20 bronzes.
