Twenty-seven days. So much is missing in the first round of the 100 of the European Championships in Munich. Not even to do it on purpose are scheduled for the opening day of the event, Monday 15 August. With semifinals and final the next day. It is a relatively short period. But that’s where Marcell Jacobs’ sights are now aimed. The blue, in normal conditions, also given the outcome of the World Cup (no representative of the Old Continent in the final, only the British Zharnel Hughes among the best 24) would have great chances of doing well. But the choices will have to be well thought out. What has happened in recent weeks and now to Eugene must serve as a warning. “We have protected his integrity while also thinking about tomorrow”, says the blue director Antonio La Torre, returning to the policeman’s decision to retire from the world championship after having only run the battery. Here: we need clear projects.
