Duplantis, Warholm ready & set for 100m sprint

Pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis and hurdler Karsten Warholm will compete in a 100-meter sprint on Wednesday (September 4) in a race Duplantis said was “the perfect combo” between friendship and competition.


Duplantis, who succeeded in defending his Olympic pole vault title with a then-world record attempt in Paris last month, will race Warholm, the world record holder in the 400m hurdles and 2024 Games silver medallist, in Zurich.


Sweden's Duplantis and Norway's Warholm, who share a friendly rivalry, planned the sprint last year and had been waiting for the right time to compete, ensuring the schedule allowed them to race without the risk of injury.


The Scandinavian face-off will be held at the Letzigrund Stadium on Sept. 4, ahead of the Zurich Diamond League meeting.
Warholm's personal best is 10.49 seconds, achieved in 2017, while Duplantis clocked a 10.57 with a +2.1 wind in 2018 when he was in high school.
