He had barely touched the mat before a spray of sparklers went off and meet director Renaud Lavillenie, the Olympic champion in 2012, ran to embrace him. Duplantis had the competition won already when he cleared 6.01 metres on the first try, as Australian Kurtis Marschall finished second with a 5.91 metres leap while the Netherlands’ Menno Vloon took third. Duplantis set the previous record on his way to winning gold at the World Championships in Eugene in July.
Saturday’s effort marks the sixth world record of his career and the 60th time the Swede has cleared six metres or higher, after enjoying his best-ever season debut with a 6.10 metres win to cheer the home fans in Uppsala earlier this month.
