Defending champion Marcell Jacobs is pictured above in the 100 metres final
in which he came fifth in 9.85 seconds (bottom left of photo). The finish was
amazing with all eight sprinters in a line at the end. Even the 'slowest'
clocked 9.91.
Marcell ran a season best and though he left without a medal his season
was one of mixed emotions following his two gold medals at the 2024
European Championships in Rome on 'home' ground. Full resuls below
