The Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy is reporting that Jacobs suffered an injury in his 100m season opener last week in Savona and will be forced to miss this weekend's Pre Classic, where he was supposed to face Fred Kerley, Christian Coleman, Andre De Grasse, Erriyon Knighton, and others.
Too bad. We'll see him in Rome I hope.
Injury yeah, I doubt it. Maybe a niggle, if anything.
More likely he saw no real value in flying halfway across the world to get his azz handed to him by a bunch of homeboys.
Who gets the lane? Knighton ??!
Lol probably Rodgers
I'm not surprised.
They should bring up the new Jamaican kid. See what the new Usain can do....

This is starting to remind me of gatlin when he ducked asafa two meets in a row. if jacobs is a nike guy expect him to get popped for trying to duck.
this whole “gotta protect my brand” is dumb. If you dont race your not helping your “brand”, and if you are a nike slave and dont help out their brand there are consequences.
i see two things, popped for drugs or he gets a silent ban and claims a full season ending injury
Oblique needs to get an invite. I bet he runs 9.7x.

Really? That seems like an appropriate thing to say?
Damn, every cool matchup we get this year seems to not happen for one reason or the other

European athletes know the pre is just an exhibition for Americans. Doesn’t make sense to travel to USA when Americans were hiding in Utah during the Birmingham meet .

He obviously realizes he'll get 4th or 5th at best. The Olympics were a total fluke and this would have exposed him.
I say it's a fluke because it was a flash in the pan. He didn't show anything near that skill before, or since. Unless he shows he can replicate that performance, and maybe he can, it's a fluke.
