00:00right finally the two of them will get their chance to settle this lots of chat
00:07including in the audience as well it's been as I said interesting because
00:11people have kind of flipped and flopped between who they think depending on the
00:14rumors you hear I was chatting to Fred Curley earlier on in the hotel today the
00:18great 100 meter specialist who said definitely Mondo there are others who
00:24think Carsten just with his experience out of the blocks and perhaps being able
00:29to hold form better over 100 meters is definitely the favorite so he has the
00:35quickest time but both of those personal bests go back a good few years so let's
00:41wipe the slate clean and the two men now come to their marks
00:49Duplantis has never ever been in this type of hundred meter race and for
00:56Varholm I doubt that he's experienced anything like this crowd go quiet by the
01:06way if there is a full start it doesn't mean we're disqualified we will go again
01:11let's hope not 100 meters to settle it all here Carsten versus Mondo
01:21Duplantis gets the best start as expected Varholm is right there with him Duplantis
01:28has not given this up though Varholm tried to chase him down but Duplantis
01:31continues to go away Duplantis gets it with a look back 10.37 that is quick
01:37whoa that is fast for a pole vaulter you're kidding me 10.37 Varholm may well
01:48have run a personal best as well that was close it was all about the start as
01:54we thought it might be Duplantis got out the quickest and just didn't stop
02:02well that lived up to all of the billing that was a 100 meter race that would
02:08have graced many many tracks and many meetings around the world 10.37
02:14great job guys well done Mondo another victory to this incredible young man and
02:23well done to Carsten for taking him on I'm sure he thought after 50 meters I'm
02:28close enough and if you falter if you slow then I'm going to be able to rein
02:33you in but it wasn't to be that was special Mondo Duplantis the greatest
02:44pole vaulter the world has ever seen showing that he's got skills in the 100
02:49meters as well great start from Duplantis and that meter that he got
02:53out of the blocks just was the difference in the end I think in the
02:56last 20 or so Varholm well he didn't give it up at all did he this is a great
03:00shot from behind chasing chasing chasing but the line comes too quickly Duplantis
03:05with a little cheeky look look at him he's seeing he's waiting is he coming is
03:09he coming he's not coming he's clear on a way and then he can look round to
03:13check behind bragging rights go to Mondo Duplantis we may never see this again
03:22but it was great fun wasn't it I wonder how many others are out there
03:28thinking I wonder who I could take on great friends still rivals for ten
03:36seconds but they remain wonderful friends
