Armand Duplantis dreams of taking part in the instant relay of a national match. On Wednesday, the Swede clocked his country’s third-highest statistical time this season with 100.
Swedish pole vault star Armand Duplantis has competed three times in the Finland-Sweden national competition in the pole vault during his career. However, it is possible that in the future Duplantis will also challenge the Finns in instant messaging.
– For quite a long time, my dream has been to run the last leg of the relay in the Finland-Sweden match and set a new Swedish record. We just have to find the right lineup, Duplantis mused for Aftonbladet.
Duplantis covered the Norwegian in the 100 meter race on Wednesday evening Karsten Warholm. In the meeting of sports stars, Duplantis clocked a time of 10.37, which is the third fastest statistical time of the season in Sweden.
In time, the victory in the 100 meters of the national competition held at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium last weekend would have been lost, because Sweden, who won the event by Henrik Larsson the time was 10.45. Larsson is Sweden’s top scorer with his country’s record time of 10.08.
Pole vault world record holder Duplantis was not involved in this year’s national competition.
Next year in August, Finland and Sweden will fight for superiority in Stockholm. It is a jubilee event, as the Finland-Sweden match will be 100 years old next year.
