Stockholm Defeat Was a Wake-Up Call, Says Mondo Duplantis

NEW DELHI: A shock pole vault defeat last month came as a needed wake-up call, said World Record holder Mondo Duplantis, who arrives at Friday’s Monaco Diamond League meet fired up to get back to his winning ways.

“Coming off of a bit of a poor performance in Stockholm made me more motivated and more hungry,” said Duplantis, adding that he was able to recapture his focus after his June 12 nuptials.” Agencies
