The idea was that the pole-vaulter would have his outdoor premiere at the Diamond League gala in Doha, Qatar, on May 8.

But due to the war, the gala has been postponed to June 19th.

This could be a problem for "Mondo", who is having a wedding party and plans to compete elsewhere in June, writes P4 Radiosporten.

The Shanghai gala on May 16th seems to be the Diamond League premiere for two Swedish World Cup gold medalists from last year, Duplantis and discus thrower Daniel Ståhl.
