Marcell Jacobs — 9.80 seconds

Marcell Jacobs delivered one of the most shocking upsets in Olympic history by winning the Tokyo 2020 100m gold in 9.80 seconds — the only Italian to ever claim an Olympic or world senior 100m title. His rise from a 10.20-second personal best in 2019 to Olympic champion in just two years remains one of the fastest progressions to a major sprint title in the sport's modern history. Jacobs backed up his Olympic triumph with European Championship gold in 2022, proving his performance was no fluke.
