Sweden Leads Ahead of Sunday's Competitions
Among the highlights, Armand Mondo Duplantis won decisively in pole vaulting but did not clear six meters, missing a new Finnkampen record.
World star Armand Duplantis was the main attraction in the men's pole vault. He won convincingly, but at a modest 5.80 meters, which is not a new Finnkampen record.
However, Swedish Wilma Nielsen set a Finnkampen record in the women's 1500 meters with a time of 4:08.12. Swedes Yolanda Ngambre and Vera Sjöberg took second and third places.
In the men's 5000 meters, Sweden achieved a triple victory, and Swedish Vanessa Kamga set a Finnkampen record with 64.22 in discus.
Sunday's competitions begin at 1 PM.
