Munich. Mundo Duplantis will go to Vincampen in Helsinki on 3-4 September.
But don’t jump.
– No, the competition program is very difficult, as he jumped at the Diamond League gala in Brussels the day before, said his manager Daniel Weisfeldt.
But he could be replaced by the recent Swedish pole vaulting world record holder.
No, there won’t be Finnkamp for Mondo Duplantis this time either.
But since he has been invited by his main Finnish sponsor, financial firm Capital Box, he will be coming to Helsinki to watch the competitions on site on Saturday 3rd September.
– Yes, he’ll be in the stands and then do some interviews, says Weisfeldt.
– Had he not competed in Brussels the day before he would probably have jumped, but he doesn’t want to say no to the big competitions. The following week is the Diamond League final in Zurich.
But Mundo could return to Vincampen in Stockholm next year. There is a chance.
– Yes, if you do not conflict with any other competitions, there is a chance. Mundo loves to jump in the Stockholm stadium.
It was there where he made his last Fincamp in 2019, when he was boiling the stands when he set a new stadium record by six metres.
the first.
Who will replace Mondo?
Today, this stadium’s record is the second best in the outdoor world, after 6.16 at the Bauhaus Gala earlier this summer.
Only the world record of 6.21 in Eugene beats that.
Who will replace Mondo?
Yes, the team has not yet been selected, but it could be an exciting modern world record holder.
Recently on August 13th, 47-year-old Oscar Jansson set a world record in the M45 Veterans category when he vaulted 5.25 in a competition in Mölndal.
That makes him third in Sweden this year, behind Mundo and Olivier Robin Jacobson who jumped 5.27.
Oscar Jansson broke the Swedish record with a 5.87 at Finnish Sumero in 2003.
A record held for fourteen years, before 17-year-old Mundo Duplantis broke the record, jumping 5.90 at a competition in Austin, Texas.
He’s jumped a lot higher since then, but Oscar Jansson remains second all-time in Sweden.
And how high is Mundo’s jump when he’s 47 years old?
