This weekend, TV profiler Jacob Hård vented his great concern.
Now the Swedish world star Armand Duplantis answers in the best way.
– That is the most important thing for me, says “Mondo” to SportExpressen.
During Sunday evening, the rain completely took over the athletics party at Stockholm’s stadium. The storm negatively affected both the crowd and the results without the Bauhaus gala and led to chaos with major delays in various branches.
Hard’s concern
Now Sunday’s Diamond League competition in Stockholm may have consequences for Swedish athletics. Because fewer spectators and worse results could lead to the Bauhaus Gala losing its Diamond League status and a great concern has been raised by the television profile Jacob Hard.
