Zurich. Armand Duplantis is ready for the last competition of the year with the new coach in place.
Desiré Inglander’s girlfriend.
She is the one who gives advice from Abi Greg. or try.
Yes, he refuses to come sometimes. Desiree says he is very stubborn and thinks he knows best he is.
Mundo had to finish the season without either Father Greg or Mother Helena to coach him.
This means Desiré had to sit in the stands.
“I film each jump and then send it straight to Greg and Helena,” Desiree says.
Then they text if they think any details should be changed. That’s all I do and all I can do. Some people think I’m kind of an expert, but I’ve never done athletics myself and have no idea.
In Desiré’s debut in the last competition in Brussels, there was a surprise loss, as Duplantis snatched 5.91 and lost his first pole vault in over a year. He was defeated by Filipino Ernest John Obiena, but this will not happen again because Obiena did not qualify for the final.
The last time was lost
A race that had an approach track that was temporarily overhauled for Mondo.
– That’s the only thing that can bother him when he jumps. But in Zurich, the place is perfect, says Father Gregg, who was ready with his mobile phone during the competition.
Mondo is also satisfied with the arrangement.
– Yes, I would not want it any other way, now that it is what it is, he says.
But before the Diamond League finals here in Zurich, the big news was that what didn’t happen, actually did happen when Mundo lost a rod contest.
No one saw him coming, so many questions.
– But everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and this is what happened to me in Brussels. But I think I learned more times when I lost than when I won. When you’ve made a mistake, it’s about figuring out why and then doing it right next time.
You can jump high here.
Everyone who is close Armand Duplantis I know he doesn’t take defeat lightly.
He hates losing.
That’s why he’s so busy before the end of the season here in Zurich.
– Yes, I still feel very good and last year I set a stadium record with 6.06. I know it’s a place where you can jump really high, and I hope first and foremost to break that record. Then we’ll see what happens, how I feel and how the weather is.
If there was a new world record in Zurich, both records would end here.
Jelena Isinbageva still holds the women’s record with a score of 5.06 in which she vaulted the same Letzigrund in 2009.
The Diamond League started offside on Wednesday with Fanny Ross as one of six Swedes. Finished poorly with the last position in the bullet.
Other Swedes competing on Thursday are Daniel Stahl in the throw, Tobias Muntler and Khadi Sanya in the long run and Andreas Kramer in the 800 metres.
