(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 1 - Olympic 100m champ Marcell Jacobs
skipped Thursday night's Diamond League meet in Stockholm as a
precautionary measure with a glute niggle to best prepare for
the world championships in Eugene, Oregon in mid-July.
Jacobs has said his sights are on the worlds after winning the
Italian national title for the fifth straight time in Rieti last
Saturday, in a relatively modest time of 10.2 seconds.
"The time is just a number, my head is already in Eugene,"
Jacobs said on his Instagram profile, telling fans he was
"happy" to be back after a recent injury.
The 27-year-old El Paso-born Azzurro, who won the world indoor
championships a couple of months ago, picked up double gold in
Tokyo after also helping the Azzurri win the 4x100m relay.
