Mei: ‘Alien Bolt, Jacobs great athlete and stronger than Gatlin’

“Bolt unreachable? Let’s assume Jacobs has quick feet like him, the Jamaican is 10cm taller and that’s it. It takes an athlete with those physical characteristics and those qualities of elasticity and strength that Bolt had. Surely Jacobs is a great athlete. Bolt was an alien, but the Jacobs I saw here in Tokyo is stronger than Gatlin ”. This was said by the president of FIDAL, Stefano Mei, to Adnkronos talking about the former speed champion Usain Bolt and Marcell Jacobs, winner of the Tokyo Games of gold in the 100 meters and in the 4×100 relay. “The media attention on Jacobs? He is a very serious guy. It is clear that if you go to do a commercial it is one thing and if you do a reality show it is another, but because it becomes difficult to train. I understand that the guys, in a career of about ten years, have the desire to do certain things, but if possible let’s move them towards the end of their careers. This is the best job in the world, because you do what you like and you are also paid and rewarded by the victories ”, concluded Mei.
