On Tuesday, it’s time for the Mondo Classic, Armand Duplanti’s own competition in Uppsala, and for the pole star himself, the goal is clear: “I want to set a world record,” he tells SVT. Also keep an eye on the Copernicus Cup in Torun, where two Swedes are on the starting lists.
Here is Mondo Classic’s website with information about tickets and more.
SVT2 broadcasts from 19.00 and here you can find the broadcast on SVT Play.

The pole phantom’s own world record is 6.23, which he jumped at last year’s final competition, the Diamond League finals in Eugene.
So far this year, Mondo has done one competition and then he did win, but stayed at a modest 5.80 in the context.
But now the feeling is the right one for Duplantis:
– It feels like a little extra pressure and championship feeling when I jump here. I like it and it helps me perform better, says Duplantis.
The starting field in Uppsala:
Armand Duplantis, Sweden
Chris Nilsen, USA
Sam Kendricks, USA
KC Lightfoot, USA
Kurtis Marshal, Australia
Thibaut Collet, Frankrike
Ben Broeders, Belgium
Pål Haugen Lillefosse, Norway
Kramer competes in Torun
On Tuesday, another international gala will be held with Swedish participation. In Torun, Poland, the World Indoor Tour rolls on and here participates Andreas Kramer and Mohammadreza Abootorabi. Andreas runs 800 meters and Mohammadreza 3000 meters.
Henrik Larsson would also have started in Poland, but the sprint star from Värmland fell ill after the competition in Dortmund and is now instead aiming to be back for the indoor WC at home in Karlstad on February 17-18.
