THE 100 metres at the Olympics is the event that turns sprinters into kings — Jesse Owens, Carl Lewis, Usain Bolt. On one of the most unusual nights the sport has ever seen, fans, experts, and even the racers themselves needed a line-up card. The race that has long defined Olympic royalty went to a Texas-born Italian who hadn’t cracked 10 seconds until this year. He’s a 26-year-old whose best days before this came in the long jump. He’s a man even the runner in the next lane didn’t really know. At the Tokyo Olympics, Marcell Jacobs is “the world’s fastest man”. “I think I need four or five years to realise and understand what’s happening,” Jacobs said. The Italian crossed the line in 9.8 seconds last night to capture the first 100m medal ever for the country. Pietro Mennea won the 200 at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow and Livio Berruti won that race at the 1960 Games in Rome. Even in a contest with no clear favourites — American Ronnie Baker was a candidate and China’s Su Bingtian ran a shocking 9.83 in the semis — Jacobs came from nowhere. He topped America’s Fred Kerley, a 400m runner who moved down in distance because he saw a medal chance, and Canada’s Andre DeGrasse, who adds another 100m bronze to the one he won in Rio. Kerley finished second in 9.84 and DeGrasse was next at 9.89. “I really don’t know anything about him,” Kerley said of the new gold medallist. “He did a fantastic job.” Jacobs’ path was made that much clearer because of who wasn’t in the race. Reigning BELLISSIMO! . . . Marcell Jacobs crosses the finish line to win the men’s 100 metres final at the Tokyo Olympics ̶ the first Italian to world champion Christian Coleman is serving a achieve the feat.

The seven-time world champion had driven superbly to race from last to third in Sunday’s race — he was then promoted to second after Sebastian Vettel’s post-race disqualification — and regain the lead of the Formula One world championship following a frenetic afternoon at the Hungaroring. But Hamilton was visibly struggling after the 70-lap race. He was assisted on to the podium, and then appeared unable to summon the strength to hold his celebratory champagne bottle. Hamilton, who contracted coronavirus in Dubai last December and was ruled out of the subsequent Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain, was taken to see the Mercedes team doctor. A spokesperson for the Silver Arrows said the British driver was suffering with dizziness and fatigue. Hamilton missed his post-race television interviews, before arriving late to the FIA’s official press conference for the top three finishers. He said: “I haven’t spoken to anyone particularly about long Covid, but I think it is lingering there. “I was having real dizziness and SYMPTOMS SUSPECTED EFFECTS OF ‘LONG COVID’: Third-placed Lewis Hamilton speaks to reporters after the Hungarian everything got a bit blurry on the Formula One Grand Prix at the Hungaroring racetrack in Mogyorod, Hungary, overnight (NZ time).
