Athletics, Jacobs writes for the Gazzetta: the 7 opponents at the MondiaIi

One by one the analysis of the most difficult opponents in the race for the most important medal for next season

All I need is world gold in the 100m to make the Grand Slam of speed, to close a circle. Next year, in Budapest, I will have a second chance and I have every intention of taking it. The latest in chronological order to throw me the challenge, right from the pages of the Gazzetta, was Noah Lyles who promised that from now on he will double 100 and 200. I’m ready. Indeed, I think there are others from whom I will have to beware. Here I present to you what I think will be my most dangerous opponents. Bearing in mind that I don’t give up in the face of difficulties and I have other margins for growth: technically I improved in the first part of the race, but my strength remains post-acceleration, with the ability to run relaxed, decontracted, but fast. Lyles studying me? I observe what others do, but focus on my qualities: no one is tall and weighs like me or has my muscle fibers. I count on myself. And I will still go far
