Athletistic / Pole vault. Mikhail Shmykov said he wants to enter the international arena and compete with Armand Duplantis.

“What can I say about Duplantis? He is very strong, very fast, he is unlike anyone else. They say that apart from being a great pole vaulter, he cannot do anything else. Of course, I really want to compete with Arman in one sector, and not only with him, there are many other strong pole vaulters in the world, I want to stand next to them and watch how they jump,” Shmykov quotes.

Duplantis’ result at the Olympics was 6.25 meters, Shmykov became the champion of Russia with a result of 5.72 meters.
