KARSTEN V MONDO: World record holders confirm epic 100-meter clash

After months of speculation, Karsten Warholm and Mondo Duplantis have confirmed they will settle the score and go head-to-head in a 100-meter sprint.

  • Norwegian 400-meter hurdler to take on Swedish pole vaulter in a mouthwatering 100-meter sprint.

  • The two world record holders will face off at Letzigrund Stadium on Wednesday 4 September – a day before the Weltklasse Zürich Diamond League meeting.

  • Tickets on sale from 09:00 (CET) on Wednesday 14 August.

Hosted in collaboration between PUMA, Red Bull and Weltklasse Zürich, the two track stars will clash at the legendary Letzigrund Stadium on Wednesday 4 September, ahead of the Weltklasse Zürich Diamond League meeting the following day. The event marks the culmination of a long-standing back-and-forth between the two iconic athletes, which has been simmering since July 2023.

short clip shared on social media last summer, in which the pair discuss the prospect of racing one another, had sports fans across the globe fizzing with excitement; now that tantalising prospect is to become a reality as the two stars battle it out over the definitive sprint distance to see which one really is the fastest.

Warholm is the reigning 400-meter hurdles world record holder, an Olympic gold and silver medalist and three-time world champion, whilst Duplantis is the newly-crowned double Olympic champion and has broken the pole vault world record a staggering nine times.

Despite the two superstars competing in different events, their respective personal bests in the 100-meters are not so far apart. Warholm recorded 10.49 seconds back in 2017 whilst Duplantis clocked a 10.57 as a high school senior just a year later – making the contest incredibly tough to call, and all the more exciting for spectators who are set for an incredible night of action.
