Tre Kronor has left the hockey World Cup in the Czech Republic.
Now Armand Duplantis has taken over the nation.
At the same time, “Mondo” reveals which country he was playing for in the hockey championship.
In recent weeks, Tre Kronor has been in the Czech Republic to play in the hockey World Cup. They strung together eight straight wins and reached the World Cup semi-finals before the fun ended.
Missed the WC gold
Sweden’s golden dreams were crushed by the host nation, the Czech Republic, who overcame Tre Kronor with a whopping 7-3 and went to the final. Instead, the Swedes had to settle for the bronze medal match on Sunday, where they managed to defeat Canada and salvage a well-deserved WC bronze.

Now a new Swedish sports star has arrived in the Czech Republic and it is none other than Armand Duplantis. The world’s best pole vaulters are in Ostrava, Czech Republic, to compete in the Golden Spike Gala on Tuesday evening.
Duplantis reveals
Of course, “Mondo” has also followed Tre Kronor’s gold hunt on ice.
– I have seen some World Cup hockey and had hoped to see a match, but it was over before I got down, he says to Sportbladet.

In the WC final, it was the Czech Republic that won the gold and got to celebrate their first WC gold in 14 years. Now Duplantis admits which team he was on in the hockey World Cup and it is an answer that the Swedes had probably not hoped for, as he chooses those who destroyed Tre Kronor.
– I held the Czechs in the WC final, when I will compete here. There is always a better atmosphere when the home team wins, he says at the press conference according to the evening newspaper.
