The idea is that Duplantis goes in at 5.65 meters, says Helena Duplantis in SVT’s magazine.
– And then to make as few jumps as possible. It would have been good to be done with the qualification in two jumps, she says.
She expects that 5.75, or something close to it, will be enough to get through the qualifiers. Duplantis has seemed calm so far, but Helena Duplantis is feeling a little nervous.
– For me, it’s super nervous. The qualifying is the worst part.
However, the focus is already on Sunday, when the final is decided.
– It looks good. We can only hope that he wakes up in the morning and that it feels good, she says.
The goal is to take the first WC gold outdoors.
– That is what is missing. Third time is good, says Helena Duplantis.
