When BAUHAUS-galan returns to Stockholm Olympic Stadium on June 6, 2027, one of the meeting’s biggest attractions will have a new home. The pole vault is moving to a temporary setup on the infield, with the aim of creating better conditions for big jumps and offering spectators a fresh perspective on the action.
Pole vault has long been one of the highlights of BAUHAUS-galan. Now, the organisers are introducing a significant change to the event’s layout at the historic stadium.
For the 2027 edition, a temporary runway and landing area will be installed on the grass alongside the home straight. The new position will give athletes a different approach direction while offering spectators a new view of the competition.
Aiming for new heights
One of the main reasons behind the move is to provide the best possible conditions for the world’s leading pole vaulters. Wind conditions at Stockholm Olympic Stadium have presented challenges over the years. By changing the position of the runway, the organisers hope to create more favourable conditions for athletes to perform at their very best.
The change is particularly exciting with Armand “Mondo” Duplantis and his continued pursuit of new heights in mind. Providing the right conditions for world-class performances is a key part of the initiative.
A new perspective for the fans
The relocation is also designed to enhance the spectator experience. With the runway and landing area positioned on the infield, fans will get a fresh perspective on one of athletics’ most spectacular events.
