Paris 2024 Olympic bronze medalist Manolo Karalis is among three athletes nominated for the World Athletics Fair Play Award 2025, recognized for his sportsmanship, support of fellow competitors, and exemplary conduct on the track.

Duplantis from Sweden, the greatest pole vaulter in history, unsurprisingly added another gold medal to his collection, jumping over 6.15 meters.
