Will Lamont Marcell Jacobs Defend His 100m Olympic Gold Medal?

from The Final Leg · host CITIUS MAG

Since 2021, Jacobs has struggled with injuries and setbacks that have prevented him from replicating the glory he experienced in Tokyo. But with a coaching change in the fall of 2023, as well as the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics, there's some new hope for him to once again get back on top of the podium.
