Ingemar Stenmark is one of the very best downhill skiers of all time, but now he has taken up pole vaulting.
– I jumped when I was little and have always been passionate about the sport. I’ve thought about trying it sometime and now someone said “why don’t you try it?”. So then I got to try it and thought it was great fun, he said earlier.
The world’s best pole vaulter Armand Duplantis hopes to help Stenmark on the way to a possible veteran WC.
– I think it’s fantastic! I imagine that I will run into him in Sollentunahallen and can give him some tips, says “Mondo”.
