Lamont Marcell Jacobs beats Christian Coleman and Marvin Bracy for 60m gold at World Athletics Indoor Championships
Olympic 100m champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs came with a withering run in the final 10 metres to take gold in the men's 60m at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade. Jacobs’ big rivals from America, Christian Coleman and Marvin Bracy, were faster out of the blocks — and Coleman, back in action following an 18-month ban for missed drugs tests, looked set to take the gold as he led at halfway. Ad/> Bracy, so impressive in the semi-finals, began to cut into his compatriot’s lead — but Italy’s Jacobs came over the top of both of them to claim the gold in a time of 6.41s.
