The Italian sprinting phenom, Lamont Marcell Jacobs, has pulled out of the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon. American Trayvon Bromell will take his spot on the roster. Bromell is a World Championships bronze medallist and has run as fast as 9.76.
Jacobs sustained an injury during his 100-metre win in Savona, Italy last week.
The 27-year-old is the Tokyo Olympic 100m champion, earning the gold medal in the time of 9.80. He was also a member of the gold-medal-winning 4 x 100m team in Tokyo.
He complained of a lack of sharpness after Savona, having run 10.04.
Jacobs is the national record holder in the 100m and 4 x 100m events.
The Prefontaine Classic will take place May 27 and 28 in Eugene at Hayward Field. The meet is offering world record attempts in the women’s two-mile by Francine Niyonsaba, women’s 5000m by Letesenbet Gidey, and the men’s 5000m by Joshua Cheptegei.
Three. More. Days.

Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon — the Rio and Tokyo Olympic gold medallist — is also competing, which should make for an exciting race.
