STOCKHOLM (SWE): Pole vault world record-holder Armand Duplantis has been awarded Bragdguldet, the oldest and by far most prestigious yearly sports award in Sweden. Made annually since 1925 by Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, he is the first track and field athlete to become a recipient since Kajsa Bergqvist in 2005 and in total 19th winner from athletics. “It feels good. It is so cool. I did not win 2018 but came back and won it this year, it’s an honour. I jumped really well and really high,” said Duplantis. From European Athletics and Lennart Julin.
