Olympic champs Neeraj Chopra and Armand Duplantis team up off the track

The duo enjoyed a cool day out at the Omega European Masters, sparking excitement among fans

This is a picture we didn’t see coming! Two Olympic gold medalists from the track and field world — India’s golden boy Neeraj Chopra, who won gold in Tokyo and silver in Paris and Swedish-American pole vaulter Armand Duplantis — met at the Omega European Masters golf tournament in Crans Montana, Switzerland. The two looked dapper and relaxed as they enjoyed watching others compete for a change. Neeraj shared a snap on Instagram, captioning, “A great day out in Crans Montana with Mondo Duplantis,” while Mondo, who holds the pole vault record, posted more photos on his account. Fans are loving this crossover, with some even suggesting a fun event swap — Neeraj trying pole vault and Mondo giving the javelin a shot. What do you think?
