LAUSANNE (SUI): The street pole vault at the Athletissima meeting next Wednesday will feature world record-holder Mondo Duplantis as one of the members of a top field. Aso in action at the Wanda Diamond League will be world champion Sam Kendricks, world bronze medallist Piotr Lisek, Olympic champion Thiago Braz and Pole Pawel Wojciechowski. Spectators will be limited to 1000 due to the coronavirus restrictions.

Get yourself a team like Mondo!

Mom Helena, his aunt and a friend took a 25hour road trip to drive his poles from Sweden to Monaco because flights are restricted and most don’t carry poles at the moment.#MonacoDL https://t.co/WjxNxSt8yl
