Marcell Jacobs is once again in the spotlight in Garda, but this time in a different capacity. It’s not a physical return—his competitive career continues at full speed with ambitious goals such as the 2028 Olympics—but rather a project that carries his name and vision: the first **Jacobs Sports Center**, which was recently inaugurated on Via Adriano Olivetti in Rivoltella, within the Pigna industrial area.
Leading the facility is **Viviana Masini**, the athlete’s mother and former president of the **Jacobs Sports Academy**, an organization that shares the same philosophy and mission as the new center. The services offered range from medical assessments for athletes to specialist consultations, comprehensive check-ups, rehabilitation, and physiotherapy, as well as nutritional counseling and psychological and dietary coaching programs. For more information, the contact number is **328 8405984**.
Jacobs himself describes the initiative as follows: *“I have always believed that sports is not just about competition, but a journey of growth, wellness, and determination. This is why I wanted to create a project that encompasses all these aspects, supporting today’s athletes and training those of tomorrow. The Jacobs Sports Academy was born to inspire young talents and assist them on their path, providing them with training and an environment conducive to improvement. Now, with the Jacobs Sports Center, we focus not only on athletes but also on anyone who wants to take care of their body and well-being through sports.”*
The goal, Jacobs emphasizes, is to offer a complete experience that combines passion and health, building a healthier future for everyone.
Meanwhile, for fans closely following his career, the calendar is packed with events: after his indoor debut in Boston and withdrawals from the meetings in New York (due to health reasons) and the European Championships in Apeldoorn (for technical choices), the Olympic champion from Desenzano will return to the track on **April 26 in Xiamen, China**, for the first outdoor stage of the **2025 Diamond League**. The tour will continue on **May 3 in Shanghai**, then focus on the **World Relays**, the relay world championships scheduled for **May 10 and 11**, also in China. On **May 18**, he will participate in the meeting in **Tokyo**, a preparatory event for the year’s highlight: the **World Championships in September in Japan**.
