Today's meet in London

If you translation this article to English, the pole is a "rod" and the crossbar is a "rib".

That a 17 year old taking third in an international meet would be disappointing is a little mindboggling itself.

So his poles didn’t make it, he borrows someone else’s poles to compete, and still ties the second place guy on height, just needing one more attempt to do it. Not a bad day of work.

I'm one forth Swedish and still can't read that but Google can.

Translation: Duplantis trea with borrowed rods

"Armand Duplantis had to rely on rods borrowed by competitors. Still, the star flew over 5.86 and became three in the Diamond League competition in London.
"Sometimes you can not change things and just like the situation," he told SVT about the missing rods.
In a first-class jumping competition, Armand "Mondo" Duplantis was behind the antagonists Renaud Lavillenie and Sam Kendricks. "Mondo" managed 5.86 on borrowed rods, as the spells of talents got lost on the way."

Lavillenie in his French World Cup got second at 5.86, Hendricks finished 5.92.

Mondo's jump at 5.86, which he managed in the last attempt, can be considered the 18-year-old's best-he managed the height with a lot of air under the rib.

"This was a good race as a charge for Berlin. This was instructive, says Duplantis to SVT.



Full translation by French Joe.

Duplantis: "Sometimes you can not change things and just like the situation," he told SVT about the missing rods.

"Sheet Happens!"

I wish someone would translate how high 5.86 is.
