Duplantis and Ingebrigtsen are both 22 years old and have been closely followed during their careers.
They are the best at what they do, even if Duplantis was more superior in his pole vault than Ingebrigtsen was in the 1500 and 5000 meters.
- I feel very honored to receive the award as Track and Field Athlete of the Year in Europe.
It feels like it was just yesterday that Jakob and I shared the award as the Shooting Star of the Year, and to now be in a situation where we both receive the big award, it is truly an honor.
Both me and Jakob have an incredible season behind us, says Duplantis according to the Swedish Athletics Federation.
- It is a great honor, not only for me but for my whole family, and I feel very proud.
"Always an honor to share an award with Mondo"
In 2022, Duplantis won everything there was to win: indoor WC, WC, EC and the Diamond League final.
In addition, he improved his own world record on three occasions.
- It is always an honor to share an award with Mondo, especially when he performs as he does at European and global level.
What motivates me is to see how far I can go, says Ingebrigtsen according to the International Athletics Federation.
In the International Athletics Federation's world ranking, Duplantis is the superior first among the men on 1601 points, while Ingebrigtsen is first in fifth place with 1508 points.
400 m hurdler Femke Bol was named best female athlete.
