Duplantisputs injury scare behind


STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AFP) — Swedish pole vault star Armand “Mondo” Duplantis will compete in the European Championships next month after pulling out of the Diamond League meet in London last weekend, his agent said Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Duplantis withdrew from the London meet with a left thigh problem after clearing 5.95 meters.
“No sign of injury after a professional examination that also included an MRI and X-ray,” his agent Daniel Wessfeldt told AFP.
“With some light training and sufficient treatment he should be totally ready within 10 days. His planned competition program stays firm. Next meet the European championships in Birmingham.”
The double Olympic and triple world champion has broken the world record 15 times, first with 6.17m back in 2020. His most recent mark was 6.31m in Sweden in March.
The European championships take place in the English city of Birmingham from 10 to 16 August.
