Olympic sprint champion Jacobs targets world titles

Olympic sprint champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs has set his sights on gold at indoor and outdoor world championships after returning to the track last week, the Italian said on Tuesday.

Jacobs marked his first race since winning the 100 metres and sprint relay in Tokyo last year with victory in the 60 metres at an event in Berlin on Friday.

The 27-year-old said he had been nervous in Berlin and had hoped to dip under 6.50 seconds.
