Armand Duplanti’s criticism: “We were misled”
World Athletics’ actions sparked criticism – and confusion. To The Express says “Mondo” that he tried to be “as diplomatic as possible”.
– At first I wasn’t angry, but more just confused. I didn’t really understand what was going on, says the pole vaulter and continues:
– That they didn’t say anything to us before, that’s what makes you a little pissed off. We were misled by them.
Armand Duplantis had a successful 2023 with double world records and he also won WC gold in Budapest.
