The pole vault star Armand "Mondo" Duplantis' own competition becomes one profile poorer.
American Chris Nilsen is forced to withdraw from Mondo Classic in Uppsala – due to a broken hand. This is reported by SVT.
Nilsen is one of the biggest stars in pole vaulting, with Olympic silver 2021, World Championship silver 2022, and World Championship bronze 2023 in his resume.
Mondo Classic has come to be a prestigious competition where some of the world's best pole vaulters compete. This year, the competition is being held for the fourth time.
