A moment of great significance marked this year’s Thanksgiving for Marcell Jacobs, the sprinter from Desenzano del Garda. In recent hours, Jacobs shared a photo on social media featuring him with his father, Lamont, and the rest of his family, highlighting an important reunion after years of separation. The former Olympic champion, who has been training in the United States for over a year, had not seen his father since 2008, when their meeting was described as one with “a stranger.”
Marcell’s mother, Viviana Masini, expressed her joy on social media, emphasizing the significance of this moment: “This is the result of patience and love for the ideal of family,” she wrote. With her words, she highlighted the importance of waiting and understanding in family relationships, making this Thanksgiving truly special for everyone involved.
