Pole vault star Armand Duplantis has announced that he will not participate in the 2027 indoor season, including the European Championships in Valencia (Spain) scheduled for March, to prepare for outdoor competitions.

"I take this decision to give my body the time to recover and prepare it needs, so that I can be at the highest level when I return to competition," the Swede, world record holder (6.31 m), writes in a statement.

"I will focus on training to be very ready for the 2027 outdoor season, which will start in May and continue until the World Championships in mid-September" in Beijing, specifies the 26-year-old jumper.

After sitting out the Diamond League finals, in Brussels on September 4, as a precaution due to recurring discomfort in his leg, "Mondo" returned to competition a week later in Budapest for the brand new "Ultimate Championships", winning the pole vault competition with a measurement of 6.20 metres.

"This year I had a fantastic season. I love pole vaulting and I want to continue to push myself beyond my limits to surpass even higher measures. However, the season was also very exhausting, with an extremely demanding competition calendar during the summer", continues Duplantis, believing that he "gave too much" last year and "did not have enough time to prepare for the intense competitive calendar".
