Lamont Marcell Jacobs- Professional Career

At the 2016 Italian Athletics Championships, Jacobs won the long jump. At the end of the 2017 indoor season, he was tenth on the IAAF world-leading list for the long jump, with a personal best of 8.07 meters. The jumper set a national record of 8.48 meters at the 2016 Italian U23 Championships, the best performance ever by an Italian, albeit the result was not recognized as a national record due to a 2.8 meter per second tailwind (the maximum allowable wind speed for any record performance is 2.0 meters per second). He was the 150th person in history to break the 10-second barrier.

He broke the previous record with a time of 10.01 seconds on June 26, 2021, during the Italian Championships in Rovereto, despite the fact that the wind was blowing at 10.0 meters per second. Lamont had just won his fourth national title in a succession at the time. He shattered the previous Italian mark with a 9.94 in the first round, then finished third with a 9.84 in the semi-finals, smashing the previous European record and qualifying as the third overall qualifier for the final. As a result, he became the first Italian runner to accomplish such an accomplishment. He won the gold medal in 9.80 seconds, breaking the European record and becoming the fastest athlete from a country other than the United States or Jamaica.
