They are both Olympic champions and world record holders in their respective domains: Duplantis in the pole vault and Warholm in the 400 m hurdles. Now the Swede and the Norwegian will meet on the Zurich tartan track for a sprint duel - with the outcome seemingly completely open.
Their best times are not far apart: Warholm clocked a time of 10.49 seconds in 2017, while Duplantis ran the 100 m in 10.57 just one year later. The latter challenged the hurdler on social media, who ultimately agreed to the show competition between two superstars of the athletics scene.
