Superstar Mondo Duplantis to Compete at Weltklasse Zürich 2026
Weltklasse Zürich is delighted to welcome arguably the biggest name in international athletics: Armand “Mondo” Duplantis will compete at Letzigrund Stadium on 27 August 2026. The Swedish phenomenon, multiple Olympic champion, world champion and world record holder in the pole vault, returns to a venue that has been the setting for many unforgettable moments throughout his career.
Few athletes have shaped the sport of athletics in recent years as much as Duplantis. With his recurring world records and unrivalled dominance, the 26-year-old has long established himself as a global superstar. Anticipation is therefore high for his next appearance at Weltklasse Zürich.
A Special Connection with Zurich
The story of Mondo Duplantis and Weltklasse Zürich is a special one. For years, the Swede has been among the meeting’s most popular athletes. In Zurich, he has celebrated numerous victories, thrilled spectators with spectacular performances and repeatedly generated headlines around the world.
Particularly unforgettable was the sprint showdown between Mondo Duplantis and hurdling legend Karsten Warholm in the summer of 2024. The extraordinary race captured global attention and once again demonstrated what defines the Swede: regardless of the discipline, Duplantis wants to win – and that is exactly what he did, clocking an impressive 10.37 seconds.
«Mondo is far more than an outstanding athlete. He inspires people all around the world and is a superstar far beyond the sport of athletics. We are absolutely delighted to welcome him back to Weltklasse Zürich in 2026,» says Co-Meeting Director Andreas Hediger.
Duplantis now attracts attention far beyond his achievements in the stadium. His wedding to Desiré Inglander last week was followed closely by media outlets around the world, further underlining his status as a global sporting icon. Now however, the focus will return to athletics – and to his next appearance at Weltklasse Zürich.
Weltklasse Zürich and Mondo Duplantis have shared a success story at great heights for many years. On 27 August 2026, the next chapter will be written at Letzigrund Stadium. Wherever the Swedish superstar competes, the bar is set high – and regularly raised even higher.
