Olympic athletes and Omega ambassadors, Mondo Duplantis and Neeraj Chopra, recently made a special visit to Switzerland for the Omega Masters tournament in Crans-Montana. Both champions took time away from their athletic schedules to enjoy the golfing action and experience Omega’s prestigious event.
Event Overview
Mondo Duplantis, who captured attention at this summer’s Olympic Games with a gold medal in the Men’s Pole Vault and a new World Record, continued his winning streak with another record-setting jump of 6.26m at the Silesia Diamond League. Neeraj Chopra, the Tokyo 2020 javelin gold medallist, followed up his Olympic success with a silver medal at this year’s Games, further cementing his status as one of the world’s top athletes.
