Duplantis to Skip 2027 Indoor Season, Focus on Recovery Ahead of Outdoor Campaign
Armand Duplantis will rest after a demanding season and target the 2027 outdoor campaign, where he aims to defend his world title.
- On Friday, world and Olympic pole vault champion Armand Duplantis announced he will skip the entire 2027 indoor season, including the European Indoor Championships in Valencia, to focus on recovery and preparation for the outdoor campaign.
- The 26-year-old cited an overly demanding competition schedule during the summer and withdrew from the Brussels Diamond League final last month due to recurring leg tightness, prompting the rest decision.
- Despite the withdrawal, Duplantis returned to win the World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest with a 6.20 clearance, and earlier this season improved his world record to 6.31m while winning gold at the European Championships in August.
- Duplantis stated, "My focus will be on training well and getting ready for the 2027 outdoor season, which runs from the beginning of May until the World Championships in mid-September." His priority is peak performance upon return.
- The strategic rest positions the pole vault superstar to defend his world outdoor title in 2027, with Duplantis saying, "I look forward to coming back stronger and meeting everyone again during the 2027 outdoor season.
