If Jacobs beating Coleman for the world 60m title surprises you, you haven’t been paying attention. It’s hard to beat a sprinter that doesn’t commit unforced errors, and Jacobs doesn’t.

About the

60m WR: 1. can go faster at Worlds since that was a poor start by his standards. 2. Some may deny his ability to now dominate the 100m, but the combo of that start, that acceleration and sub 19.7 200m ability=very few legit threats to him out there.
