"It's always special to jump on home soil, in front of Swedish fans, friends and family. I'm looking forward to a fantastic evening and hope to be able to offer the audience something really big", says the Swedish-American pole vault star, according to a press release from the organizer.
The multiple Olympic Games and World Championship gold medalist has set eleven world records, but none of them on Swedish soil. Something he has said he dreams of, but failed to achieve at his own indoor gala in Uppsala in March.
"Mondo", who in February jumped 6.27 meters in Clermont-Ferrand, France, took his third consecutive World Championship gold indoors in Nanjing a few weeks ago.
After a training period in the USA, Duplantis is making his first outdoor competition of the year in the Diamond League premiere in Xiamen, China, on April 26.
