The swedish Mondo Duplantisone of the great sensations of the last Olympic Games in Paris, where he once again proved the Olympic gold by breaking the pole vault world record (6.25 meters), will face the Norwegian Karsten Warholm – world record holder in the 400 meters hurdles (45.94 seconds), gold at the Tokyo Games and silver in the French capital – in a unique duel that will face them, in the Swiss town of Zurich, on September 4: in a 100 meter dash test.
This unique Scandinavian challenge, which will take place at the Letzigrund stadium in the aforementioned Swiss town, has been planned for a long time.
Last year, within the framework of the Zurich Rally, Duplantis, 24 years old, with a score of 10.57 in the 100 dash, declared that: “I want to compete against Karsten, it will be fun and I have a lot of sprint sessions in the spring”.
Warholm, 28, who has a personal best of 10.49 in the 100, isn’t opposed to the idea either. “I really hope it happens, but at the right time. We’re not the type of people to shy away from a challenge like that. “I have more to lose than Mondo in this story, let’s be honest.”noted the Norwegian, with a goal in the challenge between the Nordic stars on September 4 in Zurich.
