A sports star is looking for a Polish fan

It was in Poland, among others, that the Swede broke the world record. Last year, he appeared at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in Chorzów. During the event, one of the fans with a banner caught attention. The girl asked for Duplantis' starting number, explaining that it was her big dream. At that time, she did not manage to get the desired gift. Both the organizers and the athlete himself have not forgotten about the fan.

A video of Duplantis appealing for help appeared on the Silesia Memorial Kamila Skolimowska profile. The Swede is looking for a fan from last year because he has a surprise prepared for her. The material included her photo and a request for contact information.

– Hey Poland! We're trying to find the girl in this photo. Last year, during the Diamond League competition in Chorzów, she asked for my starting number. So, social media, do it! We're going hunting. Let's try to find this person and I can give him my starting number for the competition this year. I hope we will do it, said the world record holder and Olympic champion.
