Injury Fear Forces Duplantis to Withdraw

Publication by EssentiallySports | September 04, 2026 | Edition #693 |
Hey Athletic Fans,
Day one of the Diamond League Final in Brussels delivered a gut punch nobody wanted: Mondo Duplantis pulled out of the pole vault at the last minute. The Swedish American ended his bid for a sixth straight title, ending yet another streak.
He walked out, warmed up, and then made another last-minute decision to withdraw from the final. Now there's genuine doubt over the remainder of his season, perhaps more.
All that and more in tonight's edition of Essentially Athletics.



2 minutes. Your URL. A customer profile worth using.

Most founders can describe their product. They can't describe their customer. Not in a way that actually changes how they sell.
HubSpot for Startups built a free tool to fix that. Paste in your URL, answer a few quick questions, and it generates a structured profile of your best-fit customer. Firmographics, buying triggers, the works.
Takes 2 minutes. No spreadsheet required.
