Duplantis Pulls Out of Diamond League Finals
- On Friday, Armand Duplantis withdrew from the Diamond League Final in Brussels, Belgium, citing back tightness during warm-up that forced the 26-year-old world record-holder to pull out of competition.
- Duplantis previously withdrew from the London Diamond League in July with leg tightness; pain returned in Zurich last week, forcing him to compete through irritation before Friday's withdrawal.
- Agent Daniel Wessfeldt told Swedish media the pain "has spread down into his legs." With the world record-holder absent, Greek rival Emmanouil Karalis emerged as the stand-out favorite to win.
- "The worst possible thing to do is having to pull out of a competition," Duplantis said, expressing frustration at being unable to deliver a show for fans.
- Uncertainty surrounds Duplantis's status for the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in Budapest starting September 11, where individual champions will earn $150,000. "We will see if I can make it," he said.
