Duplantis upset

Duplantis, 23, finds the hustle and bustle of teenage boys downright crazy.
– Those young men are completely crazy. I don’t think anyone has ever experienced anything like that, he loads Expressen’s in the interview.
According to Duplantis, during his university years he was not chased nearly as much as Dunne.
The Olympic champion doesn’t like the cross-pressure of social media athletes have to navigate these days.
– I understand that it’s important to market yourself, but no one wants it to cover up what you actually do (play sports). It’s not that difficult for men, but the situation is completely different for women, says Duplantis.
– It feels bad that women have to balance between the two worlds. I think they would just like to focus on the sport and be as good as they can. At the same time, they certainly want to have a career for themselves, and nowadays they might have to do things they wouldn’t want to do.
