Swedish pole vault phenom Armand Duplantis is ready to defy gravity once again at the upcoming Diamond League event in Xiamen! Arriving in Xiamen, a vibrant city in the Chinese mainland's Fujian Province, the 25-year-old record-breaker is all set to light up the Egret Stadium on Saturday. 🏆
Over the past five years, Duplantis has smashed world records 11 times, and his performance at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province, left everyone in awe as he cleared six meters for the 102nd time in his career.
"It's my second time being here in Xiamen and I'm very excited to compete, very excited to be back," he told China Media Group (CMG). "I hope to jump really high. I jumped really great last year of course. I jumped a world record here in Xiamen. I know it's a beautiful stadium. Good fans, a stadium that I can jump really high. So, I hope to just come here and jump high again. Something like last year would be nice."
This electrifying return promises high energy and record-breaking thrills, uniting sports fans across South and Southeast Asia. Whether you're tuning in from bustling Mumbai or vibrant Manila, get ready to share the excitement of every high-flying leap! 🤩
