After its Euro-Gold this summer, where the stunning Armand Duplantis made a sensational jump of 6.0 meters, it was not completely unexpected for this year's athletes in Friidrottsgalan. The 19-year-old is in the United States and could not receive the award.
Instead, he thanked for the prize in a pre-recorded fur-dressed clip, a Viking helmet, a Swedish scarf and sunglasses.
– Thanks mom, dad, friends, Upsala IF and Swedish athletics for any support. I could not be here without you, "said Duplantis in his thanks.
Duplantis also won an award for the national team 's year – long performance. In addition, his parents Helena and Greg Duplanti won the Coach of the Year award.
This year's performance in the Women's National Team will be rewarded retroactively because of the situation with Meraf Bahta, writes Expressen.
