Swedish world record holder refuses to live in Olympic village 22:45

Swedish pole vault world record holder Armand Duplantis has refused to live in the Olympic Village at the 2024 Games in Paris. This was reported by Express.

Swedish national team captain Kaisa Bergqvist said the athlete had found more suitable accommodation.

“He is a professional through and through and has needs that need to be respected. He should be as prepared as he can,” he said.

Duplantis became the champion of the Summer Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. He holds the world record of 6.24 meters.

Earlier, Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, who like all Russian athletes coming to the Games competes in a neutral status, refused to live in the Olympic village.

Following the start of Russia’s SVO in Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes and recommended that Federations not allow athletes from these countries to participate in international competitions. In December 2023, the IOC allowed athletes from Russia to participate in the 2024 Olympics, but only with neutral status and subject to a number of necessary conditions.

The actor, who previously played the naked blue god at the opening of the Games, He apologized for the role.
