It has been painted as a super duel in athletics.
Armand Duplantis against Karsten Warholm in 100 meters.
Now “Mondo” sends a very cocky pass to the Norwegian.
The last few weeks have been absolutely incredible too Armand Duplantis. At the beginning of August, he won both Olympic gold in the pole vault and broke another world record with 6.25 meters.
Duplanti’s record
Just a few weeks after that discharge in Paris, “Mondo” did it again. By raising his world record by another centimeter when he cleared 6.26 during a Diamond League competition in Poland.

Now another real challenge awaits the Swedish world star, who is pitted against the 400-meter giant Karsten Warholm in a highly anticipated super duel. Both will meet in a historic 100 meter race in Zurich on September 4.
Mondo’s Glimmer
Duplantis has really high expectations of himself ahead of the sprint duel against the Norwegian.
– I think my strengths are that I am fast and that is what is required to run a 100-meter race. My expectations are to win and the only thing that matters is to get to the finish line before him, said Mondo in a video on Instagram, see it below.
– I know who I am and what I can do, as well as what a competitive person I am, and I always step up when it matters most. I think he underestimates my speed.

Then the pole vaulting giant sends a very cocky greeting to Warholm ahead of the race on Wednesday night, see the video below.
– I still won the Olympics this year and he came second… I think Karsten forgets that I’m fast, he should be nervous. If he thinks it’s going to be a “walk in the park” then he’s going to be in trouble.
