OSLO (NOR): Ahead of the Impossible Games in Oslo on Thursday, Armand Duplantis admits he doesn’t know what sort of form he is in after a curtailed spell of training due to lockdown in the United States, informs SVT. “I don’t know where I stand in terms of form. I’m not in my life shape, but it’s good enough to jump in Oslo,” he said. “Training is much easier here in Sweden. Everything is closed in the US, two weeks ago a high school opened right next to me where I could run but nothing more. Uppsala is one of the best training facilities in the world.” Duplantis was also awarded the Victoria Prize 2020 for the World records in winter. The Victoria Prize (formerly the Victoria Scholarship) is awarded to a Swedish athlete each year on Swedish Crown Princess Victoria’s birthday in Öland on July 14.
