Italian Jacobs triumphs sensational in the 100-meter final - Italian Gianmarco

After the triumphs of Legend Usain Bolt, the Italian Lamont Marcell Jacobs won over 100 meters for the Olympic Games in Tokyo Sensational Gold. Jacobs, who was born in El Paso / Texas as the son of an Italian mother and came to Italy as a child, referred to a European record over 9.80 seconds on Sunday evening (local time) the American Fred Kerley (9.84) and Andre de Grasse from Canada (9.89) on the places two and three. Only minutes before had the Italian Gianmarco Tamberi Gold won in the high jump. The two athletes fell into their arms after the finish of Jacobs. Jacobs is the first European winner in Königsprint since Linford Christie 1992 in Barcelona.

No Jamaican in the 100-meter final

Bolt had been the poster boy of the Olympic Games over a long time. The showman from Jamaica in 2008 in Beijing, 2012 in London and 2016 in Rio each won gold over the 100 and 200 meters. After his career end of 2017, it was now about succession. And for the first time since 2000 even no Jamaican in the Olympic Final stood over the 100 meters.

Also from Bolt as Gold Favorite Favorites Trayby Bromell experienced this misty showdown in the trimming night of Tokyo as a participant. "Bromell is extremely promising," the years of overfinder of athletics had said about the 26-year-old.

Topfavorit Bromell missed the final about a thousandtheology

The post-bolt era does not lead the US American. Bromell missed the final - around a thousandtheology. He was in his semi-finals with 10.00 seconds of thirds behind the simultaneous Nigerian Enoch ADEGOKE. Adegoke was stopped with 9.995 seconds - Bromell with only one thousandth more. In the result protocol, only hundredths of teleconds are first reported - but on the target film you can also recognize thousandstel distances.

A huge disappointment for Bromell, who was in June in 9.77 seconds the seventh fastest time of history, but already had to tremble through his lead. And also for the Jamaican Yohan Blake, formerly the competitor from Bolt, it was not enough for the big stage. The winner of silver over the 100 meters in London 2012 and former world champions left in the semifinals.

Surprisingly as a top man of the semi-finals, the Chinese Su Bingtian had proven to be ahead of the seasonal Ronnie Baker from the USA (both 9.83 seconds). Su Bingtian at the same time set an Asian record. Jacobs had already run in 9.84 seconds Europe card. Then came the final - time to stay! And even if surprise-man Jacobs was not to be obtained in the sprint finals, of course, he is not enough for entertainers and exceptional athletes. "No one will come right at home in Bolt's footsteps," World Case President Sebastian Coe had previously said.
