Citius, Altius, Fortius – The fascinating Swede won his challenge in a sprint event against hurdler Karsten Warholm on Wednesday evening at the Zurich athletics meeting, with an impressive time of 10.37 seconds.
Did the multiple world record holder in the pole vault also have a place in the 100m at the 2024 Paris Olympics? With his solid time of 10.37 seconds achieved on Wednesday evening on the sidelines of the Zurich meeting, Armand Duplantis would in any case have left behind no fewer than 18 sprinters during the Olympic sprint series at the Stade de France a month ago. Similarly, 66 countries in the world still have a national record lower than this mark over the distance today.
This says a lot about the Swedish star’s ultra-complete athlete dimension, knowing that she had not competed in a single officially timed 100m… since high school, with a personal best of 10.57 seconds in 2018. The crazy idea of a sprint duel with the Norwegian hurdler Karsten Warholm, world record holder in the 400 hurdles, dates back to last year, and it was made official in mid-August, organized by their common sponsors, just before the launch of the Diamond League meeting(…) - 20minutes
