"We have no news about him yet. What I can say is that he is receiving adequate treatment from his medical team," Daniel Wessfeldt, "Mondo's" agent, tells Expressen.

Duplantis is the poster name for the Ultimate Championship, the new and lucrative three-day competition where the pole vault will be decided on Friday.

What I can say is that we are positive and regardless we will travel to Budapest, but then we will see what happens there later, Wessfeldt says.

Duplantis has been troubled by sensations in his thigh from time to time during the season.
