Olympic champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs returned to competition this weekend with a victory in the men’s 100 meters at the Italian Championships in Rieti, on Saturday (25). Jacobs, who is preparing for next month’s 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, clocked 10.12 seconds (-0.9 m/s) to win his fifth Italian national 100m title.
The Tokyo Games champion last summer was making his comeback from a muscle injury he picked up at a meeting in Savona last month, which forced him to withdraw from the Eugene Prefontaine Classic, Rome, and Oslo Diamond League meetings.
Jacobs was initially slated to make his return at next week’s Diamond League meeting in Stockholm.

“The goal of this day was to run twice, in the heats and final, just as we did, to regain the rhythm after (a) small injury,” he said after his win on Saturday.
Jacobs also admitted to being a little cautious in the final with fears of pushing too hard too early in his comeback.
“In the final part of the race, I could not (use) the strength that I have, because of some fear and worries about pushing too hard,” he revealed, noting that he expected to be ready for the 2022 World Athletics Championships.
“Eugene is a great track with lots of wind in (your) favor all the time. I’m looking forward to competing at the worlds and testing it out.”
Last summer the American-born became only the first Italian to win a gold medal in 100m at the Olympic Games after running a European record 9.80 seconds.
American Fred Kerley leads the world in the 100m with a time of 10.76 secs, set at the 2022 USATF Championships on Friday (24).
The 2022 World Athletics Championships begin on July 15.
