Fresh from winning his fourth world indoor title in Poland last weekend, pole vault superstar Mondo Duplantis has added another stop to his 2026 Wanda Diamond League campaign in Lausanne on August 20.
Swedish star Duplantis has been in scintillating form already this year, breaking the world record for a 15th time in February before securing a fourth career gold medal at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Kujawy Pomorze last weekend.
He will be hoping to take that form into the new Diamond League season, as he chases a sixth successive title in athletics’ premier global one-day series.
Already signed up for meetings in Doha, Keqiao, Stockholm, Paris, London and Silesia, Duplantis has now also confirmed his attendance at Athletissima in Lausanne.
The Olympic and world champion will jump at a city event on the shores of Lake Geneva in Ouchy on August 20, one day before the main meeting in Stade de la Pontaise on August 21.
He will be hoping to attack his own meeting record of 6.15m, which he set at the same venue in 2024.
Lausanne is the 12th leg of the 2026 Wanda Diamond League, which begins in Doha on May 8 and ends at the two-day series final in Brussels on September 4-5.
The series unites the biggest names in track and field in some of the world’s most iconic arenas, crossing four continents and 15 cities over the course of the season.
