The Lamont Marcell Jacobs Situation

Can he podium in the 2023 world championships in the 100 meters?

[@neelamrani8736]

Only a real athlete realizes how it feels like when you are suffering from an Injury 😢. It is very difficult to return back to reform but he doesn't step off Hats off to all of them who are now putting down ice packs ❤💪💪

[@graceabyyy]

Especially when u get injured during or after a really good season

[@khalils9023]

I just hope he is healthy and builds a solid base from Worlds for his olympic defense next year!!!

[@all-caps3927]

That Olympic defence isn’t happening . It was already unlikely enough for him to win it the first time, it’s not like he’s in the clear of someone like Fred Kerley or Letsile Tobogo

[@vernonfrance2974]

@@all-caps3927 Tebogo has lost to Omanyala already.

[@jerrelfeller]

​@@all-caps3927kerley also hasnt been impressive this year. And he also wasnt impressive in last years finals. Easily running 9.76 in the heats and then having to dip for 9.87 in the finals to just edge out bracy and bromell

[@user-ki4xw2rb8q]

​@@all-caps3927 Considerning that this season no one has run sub 9.8 and last season wc was won with 9.87. I think it's fair to say that there's a slight possibility

Love the clips. Have been fellowing DAHBOO for awhile and support the movement.. just wanted to say keep informing the globe. Awesome 💯 keep fighting a good. MUCH LOVE 💯🥊👍

[@carsongambaro]

I enjoy watching his training on Instagram. His knee lift is unmatched in today's sprinting world.

[@cavaleer]

Yeah he resembles Carl Lewis.

[@jerrelfeller]

If he is healthy he can be the very best. When he ran that 9.80 after an indoor season of 6.47. I think if he stayed healthy after that 6.41 he would be able to run deep into the 9.7. So everything depends on his health.

[@user-ki4xw2rb8q]

It's crazy to think that in the 2022 indoors he was already in his peak form 6.41 is the same split time that he did in the 9.80 in the olympics. So he was on rute to run under 9.8 already in the indoors

[@TrainsAreNiceILikeThem]

He run magnificently in the 4x100!

[@salsadancer4965]

Very beautiful stride pattern.

[@noecovolan4317]

Of course, he wasn't going to do anything with all those injuries... but that 10.05 was a solide upgrade considering his recent fitness.

[@kennethcoleman1378]

I usually have no issue with any of these videos and I think they are top level track analysis vids...BUT in Paris Diamond League, Jacobs was not leading through 30m. Yohan Blake 100 percent was leading for like the first 60m.

[@Pearl_Gt]

I agree with u

[@jguix]

I like his form, he is amazingly smooth. Sadly I don't expect him to make it to the finals

[@kevinhair6783]

Can't see him on the podium. Hope he gets back to top form after injury which takes a LOT of mental and physical strength and consistency

[@deepsgnips]

I was wondering when you would have made a video about him. As an italian, my fingers are crossed

strange journey for this man before and after the Games. Hope he has something left in the tank.

[@Logans3Run]

"Strange journey" is an understatement. Still think his form at the Olympics, is suspect.

[@christiantagliaferro4123]

@@Logans3Run Yes. The indoor season leader winning Olympic games with only 3th 100 mt.time. this is very strange.

[@christiantagliaferro4123]

Before an after the games he was the indoor world leader. And he is not a 60 mt specialist. Actually he was a 10.08sec. long jumper who moved to 100mt during covid look -down. His mom's neihgbour has a track in the villa's garden

Guys Idk if you saw the relays but Jacobs in those looked like he definitely can make a comeback. In the semi finals I think his split time was the 2nd fastest

[@skyy256]

I think he went south when they started calling him Lamont …. Was always just Marcell Jacobs … 😆

[@davidpadilla6095]

Hope to see him there

[@SIMOLAMBOTZ]

His main problem is sciatica, that also gives problems to his muscles.

[@reiseleitercostarica]

The winner of Budapest will be running below 9.8. So it's improbable that Lamont would win even if he returned to his form. But there are a lot of new young sprinters that could take it. Hoping to see an African on the podium of the 100m and 200m.

[@garycarter2362]

You will definitely have to break 10.00 to make the finals! I wish him well!

[@davesawe5346]

I think this is a Yohan Blake situation. He ran that 19.22 in the 200m and that was it for him. He's been injured since 2012

[@theruckinmaul1460]

Blake tore his hamstring. Which the most difficult muscle to recover.

[@kjford587]

Blake ran 19.26 and his big injury was 2014

[@mitchellwelch1907]

Hope he can stay healthy

[@rlopez916]

Correction- last 40 in 3.4 not 4.30

[@gasparddelanuit3462]

Jacobs has always been a fragile athlete, unfortunately. He switched from jumping (he's got a wind assisted 8.48m in a U23 competition) to sprinting exactly because of frequent injuries.

[@ramyocenar4806]

This time its the younger sprinters that would prevail, a changing of the guards sort of. Right?

[@thomaspadilla6606]

Not sure if he’ll win. But he’ll definitely make it a challenge.

[@duncanharvey2209]

He's broken 9.95 on only two days in his life two years ago. Why on earth would he even be on anyone's radar? Most bizarre following ive ever seen. He peaked perfectly once. Im not sure ive ever seen him as a threat to the worlds best either before or since that day in 2021 🤷

[@jessevanheijningen7292]

You forget World Indoor Championship. After indoor 2022 he got injured and still ran 9.95 injured on European Championships with no one really challenging him. I get what you’re saying but his technique is superior, I think if he’s healthy he can run sub10 quite easily.

[@crabb9966]

6.41 in the 60m as an athlete who has super fast top end speed and speed endurance tells you everything you need to know

Given his age he's not going to improve even if he was healthy. I would actually like to be wrong on this one.

What is confusing for me is what type of injury allows him to still be so explosive over 50/60m yet seems yo effect his speed endurance? It's a strange one.

[@user-ki4xw2rb8q]

Hamstrings can be like that sometimes, the acceleration phase doesn't contract and strech the hamstrings as fast as the top speed phase

[@gabrielzadoni2149]

In Paris he felt well physically,( he said it in the interview) it was just the lack of training that made him become 7th in that race. Now after 2 months of daily, hard and injury-free training he should be close to 100%, that's why I wouldn't write him off.

[@LordFingers1]

Many people think he was doping.

[@TheRealBrayoTv]

who isn't at that level? most PEDs can give up to 20% performance enhancement, the mere fact that you think a talented hue-man can compete with another talented hue-man who is doped up shows evident ignorance, clearly you have never tried a banned substance otherwise you'd know without a shadow of a doubt that a doped athlete AT PRO LEVEL should blow a 'clean' athlete out of the water, like perhaps, a very gifted 'clean' athlete runs 10.09 and a doped athlete runs 9.85. ALL of these guys are taking at the very least some form of PED to aid in recovery. Most of these guys are taking new substances (specifically made for them) that are NOT on the banned list and thus cannot be tested for or they're taking banned substances under prescription from their doctor due to some "medical condition." One simply CANNOT stay healthy doing workouts that get you to the finals at the world championship...if these guys were fully clean, breaking the 10-second barrier would need 'shoe doping' (super shoes designed to increase speed) or it ain't happening since 100% of them would be at home injured prepping for surgery.

[@-BarathKumarS]

Everyone's doping you dumbo.

[@vernonfrance2974]

@LordFingers1 The fact that he has never missed or failed a test is not enough for people to conjecture. He is only half African American but there are a number of good sprinters who are only half African descended.

[@Ghoster311]

He was. Now he’s back to being ordinary and having to use “injuries” to avoid having to compete and get smoked by the legit top guys. He’s back to the 10+ guy he always was until his doped triumph.

I hate that he thought he had to run as an Italian to get attention in this sport.

[@TheRealBrayoTv]

isnt his mama italian? most pros run for the country their mama is at.

[@vernonfrance2974]

@wesleygambill8259 He is a citizen of Italy and was raised there. His parents met in Texas but his father was in the Army and sent off to Korea so his mother decided to go back to Italy to be with her relatives while Lamont was still very young. His parents lost touch and Lamont did not reunite with his father until just before the Tokyo Olympics. Contrast that with Armand Duplantis the world record pole vaulter. He is Swedish-American. Duplantis' mother is Swedish and his father is Cajun but he spent a lot of time in the USA and grew up speaking English. He only recently felt he had developed his Swedish language skills enough to respond to interviews in Swedish. Jacobs grew up speaking Italian and does not speak much English. As far as Italian interest in the sprints they have a long tradition of producing some of the fastest in Europe. Pietro Mennea won the Olympic 100m gold medal in 1978. Filippo Tortu (born 15 June 1998) is an Italian sprinter with a personal best in the 100 meters of 9.99, the first Italian in history to break the 10 second barrier .. He won the bronze medal in the 200m European Championships in 2022. Samuele Cecarelli won the European Indoor 60 m in March, 2023.
