Jamaican running star Shelley Ann Fraser challenged Bryce Mundo Duplantis to a 100m duel.
Now the psychological war against the Swede begins.
– He needs a pole and a 45-meter start, she says in C. More.
Two of the greatest athletics can be against each other.
It was at a press conference before last week’s concert in Brussels that the star of the Jamaican enemy Shelly Ann Fraser Price The challenge came somewhat unexpectedly to Mondo Duplantis.
What speed do you run for 100 metres? , I wondered.
“I will beat you,” Duplantis replied.
His only chance
Now the mood of “fencing” is crowded.
Fraser-Pryce and Duplantis both came home in the Diamond League Finals in their respective events tonight, and after winning the 100m title, Fraser-Pryce passed Duplantis.
– His only chance is to be able to use a stick and shoot himself to a distance of 45 metres. Other than that, he has no chance of catching up with me, says V.C. More.
Fraser-Price won the DL final in a time of 10.65.
Duplantis himself says he can run 100 meters at about 10.30, but Fraser-Price doesn’t believe it.
– Did he say that?! I don’t believe him. I want to see it in this case. I rather believe in 10.60-10.70 somewhere…, says Fraser-Price.
It can be removed this spring
It remains to be seen if this is the case, and if so, when the already promoted “duel” can end.
Hopefully this spring, says Fraser-Price.
– He has an indoor season to think about, but we have to try to find the time that suits us. Maybe March and April there sometime, she says.
