"It's just between the two major indoor races for the school," said his mother Helena Duplantis
Radiosporten.

The star of the stun gun, aged 19, who won the euro this summer at 6.05 meters, gives priority to the school at this time. He studied at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge in first year. That is why he did not show up at the indoor EM in Glasgow early March nor at the Swedish Diamond League competition at the Stockholm stadium on June 2nd.

Duplantis is nominated in two categories at the Sports Gala, the male athlete this year and the performance of the year. He is also one of the Jerry Award nominees.

"I wish I could go see a girl," Duplantis told TT two weeks ago.
