Jacobs posted a time of 10.04 seconds in qualifying. After that, the athlete did not appear at the start of the semifinal.

“It’s a very painful decision, but I had to make it. I came to Eugene to fight. But now there is a risk of ruining the rest of the season if I get a more serious injury, we have to postpone the performance,” wrote Jacobs on Twitter.
