Rome, Jan 30 (LaPresse) – A packed weekend of athletics events abroad is coming up with many Italian nationals in action. The highlight is certainly the season debut of Marcell Jacobs on Sunday evening in Boston, in the third Gold stage of the World Indoor Tour, live on Sky Sport Arena from 10pm to midnight. The Tokyo Olympic champion is expected to do double duty in the 60, in battery from 10.12pm Italian time, in the afternoon in Massachusetts, looking for the final at 11.54pm. In addition to the presence of Olympic and world 100 gold medallist Noah Lyles (USA), who made his debut last weekend with a double 6.62 in Gainesville, the organisers have announced the other American Trayvon Bromell and Britain's Zharnel Hughes. ‘Boston, I'm coming! We are very close to the indoor season debut. I'm ready to give it my all and start this year off right!’ wrote Jacobs (Fiamme Oro) on Instagram, just hours before the first outing that features three of the top ten all-time in the specialty.
