Jacobs just ran 9.92 in Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku Finland.
What he does now and forever will never matter…fact of the matter is MARCELL is and will go down in history as an Olympic gold medalist after bolt. His name is in the history books regardless. Lots of good runners who have never even medaled at any champs let alone the Olympics. You are remember for the bling not the perfomance, in any sport it’s the bling 💍 🏅.
Do you remember Kentaris like that?
@@KmKryptonianThat's not fair 😅 Jacobs isn't embroidered in a drug scandal but damn what a pull
@KmKryptonian the fact that you brought up his name 24 yrs later proves my point exactly.
@@DaydreamingTrackWelll...it kind of is fair because his "sports nutritionist" was involved in a drug scandal and he has not been the same in the 100 since they stopped working together.
Not really. If your point was just being remembered for winning the gold yes. But what Kenteris did after that did matter and still does because his gold is tainted in a lot of people's eyes.
Jacobs just did 9’92 on 18 June. Another Italian Chituru Ali 9’96. Jacobs Can do it again. Not guaranteed but he could do it.
ahahaha, he will never run 9.7s and thats what it takes to win olympic gold. Jacobs was juicing hard during 2020 and remarkably got to a level he has never approached again.
Jacobs the best runner
@@2011hwalker he already won Olympic Gold. Actually 2 Olympic golds he also won the 4x100 too.
For the records Jacobs has just run a 9.92. He is coming boys! 😎
One underrated thing about Marcel Jacobs is his ability to maintain composure and stay calm under pressure. He keeps his running form very well. That’s something that might pay off on the big stage. Others could be faster than him, but when the lights cameras and intensity is on, they fold. I don’t think he medals in Paris, but you never know
There’s no pay off, he hasn’t medalled in 2 consecutive World Championships.
He just ran 9.92
@@claudiofarina7502yup! 🙌..Wind definitely helped a bit but I really like how he keeps such a smooth form and doesn’t tense up. Running multiple rounds at the Olympics that way will help him save some energy and not blow his load
Jacobs had one hell of a run
Euro indoor champ
Olympic champ 100 & 4x1
World Indoor champ 60
Euro outdoor champ 100 2x
Euro outdoor champ 4x1
Got married
Signed a few big contracts .
Jacobs is a made man he overachieved
He Just run 9.92.
He is a great sprinter, he just had some injuries in the past years
@@claudiofarina7502 anything he does from here is a bonus
That's already a legendary resume as an European sprinter but people somehow will keep hating on him, pure envy
@@user-ki4xw2rb8q yea I’m with ya. However Jacobs had a streak where he kept pulling out of meets that’s where the negativity started also it was a scandal around his original training camp. Jacobs overall has done well
PEDs are effective yes. Went from an also ran to a "remarkable" single season....hmmm bit odd isnt it.
Jacobs ran 9,80. You don’t run that by accident. Let’s not forget it would’ve beaten Bolt in the prior olympics: and that only Bolts 9.69 and 9.63 times were faster. Put some respect on his name.
This is nothing like the 2003 championships where the quality of the field was low and the winner ran 10.07.
That said, doesn’t look like he’s close to that peak again and don’t expect him to factor in the final.
He just ran 9.92.
I think he's back in the conversation
Bolt ran 9.80 in the 2016 Olympics easing up in the last 5-10m so at best, Marcell-Jacobs would equal his time at an Olympic final.
@@blackkid128 9.81*
hahaha Jacobs beating Bolt....laughable at best. Jacobs was PED abuser and will never medal again.
Today 9.92 for Jacobs, honestly i would be scared if i was a contender. Omanyala is always a bluff, he can make under 9.9 only in Kenya. 9.90 of the cuban Montoya is a joke, they must cancel that time. So it's 3rd best time of the year for Jacobs. It's him, seville and lyles for the medals. I don't see others.
But now also add Bednarek and Kerley
chituru ali save this name
now he just won the european again and today he ran a 9.92, constantly running faster each time since the europeans, getting in shape for olympics. I wonder if Mr. Gatlin is still of the same opinion about him
He didn't say anything bad about him tho
Gatlin wasn’t negative about him and they recorded before Turku
Would be the funniest thing in the world if he wins in exactly 9.80 again 😂
That's pushing it for him. he's now more like a 10 sec flat guy..
@@Ezigoing That's why it'd be so funny!
@@Ezigoingwell, wasnt he kind of a 10 flat guy before his win in the last olympics as well? 10.0 guy or 9.9 guy.
@@highvalence7649 yeh at his peak. Hope you're not looking for a miracle.
@@Ezigoing not really looking for anything my point is just that he was far from a 9.8 guy before his 9.8 he ran in the olympic final, so That he's far from a 9.8 guy now is not itself like a reason to to think he's not going to run 9.8 again. I dont know if That's something you disagree with but that was just my point. But im not really looking or hoping for anything. Im just looking forward to the olympic games to see high level track and field and see who is the best.
At least Jacob’s is clean
hahaha ok bro. He went from 10.1 to 9.8 by "harder training" lmao. He was juicing hard in 2020, when testers couldnt test athletes because of the hysteria around covid. Complete fraud.
Im not even sure bout that
Nice words from Justin on Lamont.
A fluke? He is 30years old and he won A LOT of races, of titles...
Sure it's not Usain... but it's really good
Gatlin needs to do more social media!
He’s pretty active here and Facebook
Lets not forget he beat Coleman in the indoor championships the year after
Jacobs just clocked 9.92
These guys need to be on IG too. Great analysts
There are a lot of talk about Jacobs on the internet. For me, he is a superb runner and no "one hit wonder". He won the Olympics in both 100 and the relay, the indoor world championship in 60 meter, the European Championship in 100 meter, so with this record of achievements we have to view him as a very successful sprinter. In Oslo this year, it still doesn't look perfect technically for him. In this race it also looks like he's limping if you look carefully. We'll see if he manage to get everything in order to the Olympic. With Paolo Camossi as a coach he reached very good results. Now his coach is Rana Reider. Future will tell if Reider is the right guy for Jacobs. I'm not sure about that. But as I said, future will tell.
It wasn’t a fluke, Carl Lewis. However he got the perfect storm like Carl Lewis. The problem is he’s not running 9.7s in an era where 4 guys run that time. Two of those guys bookend his 1 championship win (Kerley and Coleman). He hasn’t beaten either of those guys since. In any 60m race he’d not be seeded over Coleman and Lyles. With the emergence of Lyles and Oblique only he’s not time seeded, he’s area seeded vs Zharnell Hughes.
Bolt has changed the metric for greatness by winning 3 Olympic 100m finals. There was a time when winning one was enough to cement your legacy and I think Jacobs’ legacy is cemented. He beat all-comers!
@@Hengel_Andrews Sorry, I have hard time understanding exactly what you want to say here due to your grammar. Kindly.
@@ivarronnbackI made no grammatical errors. You just don’t understand due to your own reasons.
@@Hengel_AndrewsI didn't say your grammar was wrong, I said I didn't understand due to your grammar. And I didn't say I didn't understand at all, I said I didn't understand exactly what you said. But I'm from Sweden and know that there are a lot of things I don't understand when it comes to english. For example, when it comes to idioms and slang in english, I can be totally lost. Or on a more comical note, when I hear Fred Kerley or Trayvon Bromell speak, I'm lost too. One time though, I came into an argument with a guy on the internet about an expression he used, and just out of curiosity I took our argument to a english speaking professor in the english language at Stockholm University. And that time he confirmed my suspicion and gave me right in the matter we were discussing. There was simply more to it than my adversary realized. I'm not saying this is the case right now, it was just a story I found interesting. And I wanted to share it with you.
He ran the 4x100m after the limping, he said it was just a cramp so hes not injured
Simbine's been more than just consistent. He's added a stronger last 30m to his races. He seems to finish with better top end speed now.
I tell my athletes I train … you only have to win 1 event in your life .. the Olympic Final … ( I literally showed my athletes how it’s possible to qualify and get to the Olympics by coming second!) …. If you win that final … EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING else is irrelevant ( world records, rankings etc). Go ask any athletes in any sport ( where the Olympics is the Pinnacle ) …. If they would give back everything they have ever won just for that Gold Medal … and all serious athletes will give the same answer.. yes. Once you have won one Olympic gold … that is it you can retire ( sure if you want to win more medals that up to you). Understand what an Olympic Gold in athletics means … On the day it counted, against the best in the World , where everyone has trained specifically for that race … you won.. you ARE the best in the world. Full stop, no excuses, no arguments nothing… It doesn’t matter if Marcel Jacobs never runs a race in his life again … He has an Olympic Gold medal in the 100m! There are ONLY 10 men still alive today that can say that! There are only 9 Countries that have ever won gold in the 100m in the History of the Olympics USA, South Africa, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, USSR, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Italy!!! Let that just sink in for a while !
For him to win will be a shock. That field will be loaded..
This is track and field after all
Not really, the only 2 people that have actually ran fast this season are oblique and noah
@@epicperson137 And Omanyala recently
Still, there's no way his winning it. I give him non-automatic qualifier at best for the final, otherwise he won't make it.
outside of bolt and carl lewis, the olympic 100m title has never been sucessfully defended. that doesn't mean winning it is a fluke.
Guys research Kishane Thompson from Jamaica 🇯🇲. He's not very popular as yet because he doesnt run much and was injured. But his name will be in the media alot more at the end of this month. You neard it first here😊
Jacobs today 9.92
Hopefully Simbine does make it onto the podium at the Olympics. He deserves it. 🇿🇦
In jacobs 2021 season, he only ran sub 10 once before the olympics. He was consistently at 10 flat that whole season. Hes also consistently at 10 flat this season. he knows how to peak and he will do it at the olympics.
Why didn’t he peak for the last 2 World Championships? He had his time, we just need to celebrate that and accept that the sport moved away from him.
@@Hengel_Andrews he was injured bro do your research
@@Hengel_Andrews injury
Injury isn’t an excuse, if we give Jacobs that. Well Coleman was suspended in 2021, Bromell was injured in 2021, if both men were available they’d have beaten A heathy Jacobs. A healthy Jacobs wasn’t going to beat Kerley in 2022 either.
@@Hengel_Andrewsof course injury is an excuse buddy, what are you talking about
It's hard but he can win! He started with 9.94 SB in 2021 and 6.47 at 60m indoor. In 2024 he didn't run indoor running 9.92 SB. He potentially goes to the PB depends how run in the heats and SF, if he arrives wasted in the final...but he is one of the potential winners. The others showed bad timing to be healthy, to lead the peak of form exept lyles,de grasse, (coleman so and so..kerley so and so, simbine, omanyala so and so). In 100 meters I see Jacobs after Lyles, but really close!
Jacobs progression to gold
Lamont Marcel Jacobs' 1st Place win was definitely NOT a fluke. It was a win against "B level", journeyman competition. You can tell that he's taking it easy during his Drive Phase, to make sure that he doesn't re-injure himself before he arrives in Paris.
Associating Jacobs with the word fluke is disrespectful to him. No way can a man win the Olympics and it be a fluke. He was the best on the day and that is saying a lot.
Best on the day can also be a fluke my boy
@@loopvil369 that's insane logic. you could say the others in the race did not race to their capabilities but Jacobs ran 3 PR's in a row, peaking at the perfect time. That's perfection, not fluke.
Check what he has won.
@@beinfavor111 fair enough
@@dijkb He won the gold medal in the Olympics. If he is not deserving in your eyes, who in the Olympic finals should have beat him?
Was he a fluke? With Fred Kerly running next to him? No.
I trust Jamaican and American sprinters more.The consistency they exude is world class.In Europe they can focus on the field track.Don’t attack me 😂😂😂😂😂
I am not a Jacob’s fan but he looked good in the European champs , especially the relay. Maybe he was injured on and off or maybe he plays with TUES , who knows . On another note why does Kerley get a pass? He makes bold statements on Instagram and hasn’t backed up one of them in the last 2 years. After a bold statement on Instagram that doesn’t come to pass the very next day on Instagram he’s unaccountable and bragging again, he’s gone to one of my favorites to I don’t know what is with him. Thoughts. I am open to legit disagrement.
I think Kerley is not alright. It's sad, if I were someone near him I'd go for an intervention... He needs to get well again and stop running his mouth, it's getting embarrassing and it's hard to watch...
Jacob is handsome and successfull. Haters can keep coping😂
Short answer Yes.
Here is south africa senior nationals take place in march/april
Yeah but it’s still too early as compared to other countries. If we had our championship in late May or June then it would be a different story
Big fan of Jacobs here, but i doubt he will win again. Maybe medal, i hope, but winning is very hard, the comoetition isn't here to play, and the field is stacked.
He has been a fragile athlete all his carreer, since when he was in long jump (which he left cause of injuries). He looks good again, but not in the same shape, and he kept having a lot of issues that didn't allow him to train as well as he needed to. I hope I'm wrong thou.
yeah weird that....he doesnt quite have the same "boost" as 2021. Hmm I wonder why. I think we know. But then again people think Flo Jo was clean 😄
ABSOLUTELY 😂😂😂
Short answer...YES. He's the Billy Mills of sprinting.
I believe marcell was on the juice so was Elaine,they both were training in Italy,and i also believe shacarri is on the juice too,cause Justin Gatlin said it from is own mouth we are going back to the lab,after she lost that big race and since then she almost been undefeated.
We'll see for the first time 2 italians in the olympic final?
(The other one is chituru ali (9.96))
The Africans, Caribbeans and North Americans have nothing to worry when it comes to the 100m, 200m, 400m, 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay looking at the times I just witnessed in the european athletes competition. All medals will be going to the top 3 I just mentioned 💯
😂
You realy think the americans can get the baton around?
@@dijkb You can say all that but the Italy that won all the events in the European athlete competition beat any of the records that have been set by the Americans....... am waiting........
@@destro4450 I got nothing against Italy, I just like mocking the arrogant americans. the US boys and girls are fast but they are 4 individuals and not teams. Italy this years is fast and is a team. The USA have a habit of dropping the baton or doing .changeovers outside the zone.
I am not a fan and don't see it happening again. However, the fact is that he is the reigning Olympic champion and did win the indoor 60m dash. As for the European titles, he could have walked backwards and still win, so there is that.
Yes
Jacobs used to regularly make semis and occasionally a final..after the glory and then the injury he's obviously hit a plateau. I put his odds at 50/50 he gets back to the final again. Podium? Less than 10% chance.
Gatlin should give him some “juice”
Even if it a fluke, he believed when probably no one else did. Sometimes that’s all you need for a breakthrough
Jacobs hasn't ran sub-10 since August 2022.
today he did it 2 times, 9.99 and 9.92
@@massimobernardo- Looks like he’s getting himself ready for Paris. He looked strong in the European relay as well.
@@ajbahus in the 100m European semi-final in Rome if he hadn't slowed down he could easily have done less than 10.
@@massimobernardo- Him and Kerley are going in the opposite directions. Glad Jacobs is finding his stride. Makes Paris all the more intriguing.
I don't think it was a fluke because he won, but that was the best version of himself, and he can't seem to get back to that, so it's a one and done.
he just did.
Please do some research.
Guys dont overlook this name...Kishane Thompson. Reseach that name 😊
Lol he then went on to win World Indoor 60 meters and is also a two time european champion. So certainly not a fluke
A Jacobs win will be a shock. That said, people are winning finals 10s+ so anything can happen.
Jamaica is on the Net! Like the analysis guys!
Jacobs rarely has run even 10 flat since Tokyo so in that sense he's a fluke but on the flip side he's been consistently injured or on the cusp of being injured. Let's see what happens in Paris.
he just run two sub 10 last week
He just like guy I think he’s from France that win 200m at worlds
Or lady from Belarus
Yes 🙌🏽 he win Olympic without steroids 😅😂
Me personally I don't give a fuck about a world champion or a Olympic champion. I need 9.79 or bellow. We speak in God leve when in comes to the 100m. Injury can cause a title. False start can cause a title or give you a title. You got to earn it through times because that puts you on God level and pays you
I'll bet my house Jacobs wont even make the olympic final.
Pretty bold claim. Not saying I disagree, but very interesting.
I would too
I agree
@GreekboyyD He won't. These are world class sprinter and Gatlin is a all time great. He understands the difference between personal best vs your average. Jacobs is not running 9.8 again
Why not? Outside of Noah and oblique, no one is really lighting the world on fire in the 100
Jacobs italian forghet USA 9.92
Jacobs wants even a name in sprinting before he won. Natural ability doesn't just turn up and make you surpass your ability all of a sudden. All 100m WR's are doped athletes. He and Bolt somehow surpassed genetically modified athletes natural lol. How many struggles to run 10's 4-6 weeks ago but now USA, Kenya and the rest running well under 10's. Now their talking about doping in swimming 😭. Gatlin is known for enhancing yet he was still able to compete and still running fast late in his career. We done even know the half of what goes in with doctors or the teams they have to help dope. That's all sports not just athletics.
Absolutely his win was a Fluke and so was Noah Lyles 100m world championship win a fluke. I respect Noah's 19.31 all day and that put him in a all time great status but if you not in the 9.7 you are not a sprint God. I hear this saying of you can't take away a championship and I agree but you can't compare classes either and you can't take away that either. Flo Jo isn't Alive to compete for awards but times is what gives you God status. Every athlete that has been bellow 9. 80 is a God in my opinion. Gatlin is a guy who has done it so much. Gatlin did 9.85 as a 35 plus year old and that is sick. Placed 2nd to a youngest in the world championship. That was amazing at that age. I don't respect 9.8 and above on the Olympic and World championship level at all anymore. Fuck champions. I want to see the Gods and Gods compete with each other through times and this is how I compare them. The media cares about championships. I care about times only
Fluff, Gatlin, where's your Olympic gold medal? Hmm, I thin k you're the fluff! At least he has one!
Anything outside of 10 seconds won’t make it to the Olympic final. I said this a week ago.
I don’t think anyone will break 9.85 in the final
At least he is not cheating.
How you know?
@@ashleyt3341 that’s for me to know and you to find out.
They never even knew his name when he won the gold, so keep discounting jacobs...😂
Simbine will win gold in Paris. I called it 2 months ago.
He's a lucky guy right time right moment but still he won congrats to him 😅
He's been running with one leg and dragging the other for two years. He needs to fix his sciatic nerve problem if he wants to run fast
If I could put a millions pound on him not winning then I would, he kinda fluked that final in my opinion even though he is an amazing athlete he now has got no chance with the competitors now as I reckon the winning time will have to be a 9.7 at least
Jacobs couldn’t even win the SEC championship 😂😂😂
Yes I believe it’s a fluke
Do you believe in jacobs? Please....
Theese are expert, people that know the material 8obviously I'm not talking about Gatlin)... 24 hours later this sentence Jacobs ran in 9,92 sec... Listen to me: try another hobby. P.S. obviously is not the favourite but his progression (10.19 - 10.07 - 10.05 - 10.03 - 9.99 - 9.92) is a serious thing.
Jacobs won’t repeat OR get any medal
He’s a fluke no shade it’s just facts. He’s not even top 10 fastest in the world this year.
That entire Olympics was b.s.
Jacob's won't even make the finals 😆
Yes it was a fluke. He will never win again
Yes, it was a fluke. One-hit wonder.
He shocked the world twice in the same Olympics
@@leedza yes, he shocked the world. He came out of nowhere, and then went right back to relative obscurity. It’s the only year he’s ran 9.8x. A bunch of noise was being made about his unorthodox training methods, like he and his coach were on the cutting edge of something. Only for him to drop his coach last year 🤷♂️
@@MarcusTheDarkness Same as Samuele Ceccarelli from the same country.
@@joku73 today Jacobs 9.92 Ali 9.96 same country , ciao
@@MarcusTheDarkness it was his time, the training, fitness and form all came in at the right time. The other guys didn't turn up. It happens, there are a few athletes for whom everything aligned for the day are never seen afterwards. The bottom line is he has European and Olympic Champion on his resume. Tyson Gay, Yohan Blake as fast as they were in their prime don't have that individual Olympic gold.
Dude hasnt won anything since. Most definitely a fluke
Not true.
Jacobs win was more than a fluke. It's one of the biggest flukes in track and field history. Let's see if he makes the finals in Paris.
JACOBS 9.92 easily... don't understimate him... he has a unique mindset
Then there's chituru ali 9.96 (first time under 10 sec for him), he's improving fastly... Italy's gonna win 4x100 again
