Defending Olympic 100 meters champion Marcell Jacobs posted a time of 10.11 seconds to finish second in the East Coast Relays on Saturday in his first race in nearly eight months. 


Olympic 200m champion Andre De Grasse of Canada won the race in Jacksonville, Florida, with the same time as Italy’s Jacobs.


American Trayvon Bromell, a two-time 100m world championship bronze medallist was third, in 10.14. The finishing order was confirmed when organisers of the meeting issued revised times for De Grasse and Bromell after the first published times put Bromell in first place. The 29-year-old Jacobs, a surprise winner of Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2021, posted his time with 0.9 m/sec wind assistance.
