Swedish pole vault star Armand Duplantis is set to marry his fiancée Desiré Inglander in Cannes, France, on June 13-14, 2024. While the couple intended to keep their wedding date a secret, this information came to light when Steinar Hoen, the head of the Diamond League event in Oslo, disclosed it to a Norwegian news agency. Duplantis is set to travel to Cannes right after the Stockholm competition on June 7, which adds to the excitement surrounding his upcoming event schedule.

Duplantis expressed some surprise regarding Hoen's revelation, mentioning it was 'strangely done' and indicating he was not aware that it would be announced publicly. Despite this, he stated he holds no ill feelings toward Hoen, reinforcing the fact that while the wedding might not be the 'world's biggest secret,' it was meant to be shared privately among close circles. The disclosure has certainly drawn attention as fans and media look forward to both the wedding and Duplantis's performance in the upcoming competitions.

The men's pole vault final at the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland, is scheduled for Saturday night, making this a particularly busy time for Duplantis as he balances high-profile athletics with moments of personal significance. The overlap of these events illustrates Duplantis’s prominence in the sport and the public interest in his personal life, as fans continue to support him both on and off the field.
