Olympic Games 100m champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs announced Thursday on his Instagram account that he will not run again until 2022. In response to a fan on a social media interaction, who asked the Italian when would be his next appearance on the track, he replied: “2022”. Almost unknown a year ago, the Texas-born Italian sprinter claimed a shock triumph in the 100m at the Tokyo Olympics as well as gold in the 4x100m relay. His stunning victory was achieved in a European record of 9.80sec. The 26-year-old was scheduled to next run on August 21 at the Eugene Diamond League meet in the United States. After that, he was to appear on September 3 in Brussels and on September 9 in Zurich for the season-ending Diamond League Finals. After his triumphant return to Italy from Tokyo on Monday, where he was greeted as a national hero, Jacobs resumed training.
