Eugene. Biggest toilet favorite with Yulimar Rojas.
But Mundo Duplantis does not think the pressure is too heavy to bear.
“I expect to win, so it’s reasonable for people to do that too,” he says.
Qualifying competitions are usually associated with anxiety and some pressure on candidates who have nothing to lose.
But Mundo Duplantis entered qualifying for first place knowing it would likely take a little more than half a meter to qualify from his best level of the year. Then you can’t even pretend to have any nerves.
– In pole vaulting you can’t take it easy, my way is going 100 per cent. I can’t get through the playoffs, but that high will likely pass. I warm up as usual, but then I hope one hop will suffice, he says.
Instead, click on the final. Everyone expects victory – and hopes for a world record.
“Part of the game”
– It’s not unfair. When I win as much as I have won, it is reasonable to expect that I will win. I expect to win and it makes sense for people to do that too.
As for Sportbladet, Duplantis previously said the Olympics were a different league when it came to the press. I have his strength.
It’s part of the game, if I have to do what I’ve done, I have to do it. It looks like it is. I handle it well I guess, I can only control what I can control. I’ll jump as high as I can and that’s usually enough to win.
Now he just wants to start his toilet.
– If you have a choice, you better drive right away, you are excited to watch from the side. Hope they saved the best for last, haha.
