Duplantis suffers shock defeat at Stockholm Diamond League
On Sunday, Australian Kurtis Marschall defeated Armand Duplantis at the Stockholm Diamond League, clinching victory with a clearance of 5.90m on his third attempt.
The defeat snapped a dominant 35-month winning streak for the Swede, who had remained unbeaten across 40 competitions before this loss at Stockholm Olympic Stadium.
Duplantis soared over 5.80m at his second attempt but failed in both attempts at 6.00m, with his last-ditch effort at 6.05m also falling short.
"I'm not angry," Duplantis said, noting he is "unlucky in sports" but "lucky in love" with a wedding coming soon in Stockholm.
Marschall celebrated his first Diamond League victory, saying "I did not mean to spoil the show" while praising the crowd's support for the Swede.
