Australian pole vaulter Kurtis Marschall says he received advice from Armand “Mondo” Duplantis after Marschall beat him at the Stockholm Diamond League. Multiple outlets report that Marschall described the moment in which Duplantis, widely regarded as the pole-vault GOAT, spoke to him following the shock result. The accounts focus on what Duplantis told Marschall in the aftermath of the competition and portray the exchange as a sign of respect from the sport’s top performer. All reports tie the comments directly to the Stockholm meet, where Marschall’s victory over Duplantis stands out as an unexpected outcome given Duplantis’s reputation and record-setting performances. While the outlets share the same basic premise—that Duplantis comments to Marschall after the race—details such as the exact wording or specific technical guidance vary in how they are presented in the available summaries. Overall, the story centers on post-event interaction between the two athletes and frames Marschall’s win as the trigger for Duplantis’s remarks.
