It was approximately 1.5 million who took part in the final pass with Duplantis on Monday in SVT Play and SVT1 combined, which is a very good figure considering it was in the middle of the day on a weekday, says SVT's sports manager Max Bursell to Expressen.
644,000 saw the pole vault final on linear TV, which is 75 percent of those who watched linear TV at that time.
75 percent of linear viewing is an extremely high figure, but then you have to take into account that linear viewing is declining in general, and that the competition on weekdays during the day is weak, means Bursell.
On Monday just over a week ago, Duplantis took gold in the World Championship in Tokyo and set a world record at the same time with 6.30 meters.
