Duplantis and Ogunleye Aim to Shine at ISTAF Indoor in Berlin

Olympic champions Armand Duplantis and Yemisi Ogunleye prepare for record-breaking performances at the sold-out event featuring eight disciplines.

Armand Duplantis, reigning Olympic pole vault champion, targets a new ISTAF Indoor meeting record, aiming to surpass his current mark of 6.06 meters.
The ISTAF Indoor event marks Duplantis's first competition of the year, with the athlete expressing confidence in his form and the event's energetic atmosphere.
Yemisi Ogunleye, Olympic gold medalist in shot put, will compete in the event's first-ever women's shot put competition, aiming to reach the 20-meter mark.
The event, held in Berlin's Uber-Arena with 12,000 spectators, features eight athletic disciplines and will be broadcast live on ZDF at 6:00 PM local time on Friday.
Notable absences include long jump world champion Malaika Mihambo, sidelined by an infection, and sprinter Gina Lückenkemper, who ended her season early due to a thigh injury.
