Stockholm, June 7 -- Swedish athletics superstar Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis saw his 40-meet pole vault winning streak end on home soil as Kurtis Marschall claimed a shock victory at the Stockholm Diamond League.
The Olympic and world champion broke the world record at last year's Bauhaus-Galan and had hoped to do so again in front of his home crowd at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium on Sunday.
However, Duplantis could only clear 5.80 metres - well down on his world record of 6.31m - ashe suffered his first defeat since the Monaco Diamond League in July 2023, according to olympics.com.
