Marcell Jacobs has opened up on his progress in training since he relocated to the US and how he is finding life there.
Double Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs has shared how life has changed following last year’s poor run that saw him fail to make the final of the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Following the tough season, Jacobs decided to change coaches and relocate to the US with his family, where he has been working under the tutelage of American Rana Reider after parting ways with Paolo Camossi, whose wing he had been under for some time.
