Overview
- Jacobs made his competitive comeback at the Meeting di Savona and finished third in the 100m final after running 10.11 (+2.6) in a heat and 10.01 (+2.7) in the wind‑assisted final on Wednesday.
- He announced he has resumed training with coach Paolo Camossi, said the reunion restored his motivation, and confirmed plans to race at the Golden Gala on June 4 as he builds toward the European Championships in August.
- Both of Jacobs’s best times at Savona exceeded the legal tailwind limit of +2.0 m/s, so they show encouraging form but do not count for records or standard qualifying lists.
- Zaynab Dosso won the women’s 100m in 11.07 (+2.0) and is scheduled for multiple Diamond League stops in Rabat, Stockholm, Oslo and Doha to test her season form against top fields.
- Other Italian athletes showed promise at Savona: Dariya Derkach jumped 14.45 (+2.1) to finish second in the triple jump and Lorenzo Simonelli ran 13.61 for third in the 110m hurdles, reinforcing Italy’s build‑up to major summer championships.
