Armand Duplantis had already won the competition in French Liévin on Tuesday after finishing 5.86, when he chose to cancel.

- He felt sore in the right back of the thigh, says manager Daniel Wessfeldt to SVT Sport then.

Now comes the news that the injury ruling will stop Duplantis from the upcoming competition in Torun, Poland, which will be decided on Wednesday.

- It feels more sensible to stay at home and train and get treatment, says Duplatis in an email to TT.

A worrying message when the indoor European Championships are decided already the first weekend in March.

The plan right now is that Duplanti's next competition will be on February 24 in Belgrade.
