Swedish Armand Duplantis once again pushed the limits of human and a new pole vault world recordafter winning at the ‘All Star de Pértiga’ meeting in the French town this Saturday Clermont-Ferrand With a record of 6.22 meters.

Duplantis, the current Olympic champion of the specialty, exceeded his previous universal record by one centimeter With a height of 6.21 meters since July 24, 2022, when he became the outdoor world champion in Eugene (United States).

Who is Swedish since On the indoor track, I got the best grade at 6.20 meters. The jumper at the Belgrade World Cups last March had tried unsuccessfully to break his own record.

Tried it on February 2 in Uppsala, SwedenWhere 23-year-old Duplantis staged the ‘Mondo Classic’ but failed in three attempts out of 6.22.

just like it happened eight days later in BerlinHere, Armand Duplantis knocked the bar three more times as he tried to set a new world record. A record far behind in Lievin (France) on February 15, the Swedish pole vault didn’t even call the record after he “settled” for a better grade of 6.01.

But to Duplantis, who It will not participate in the indoor European competitions that will be held in Istanbul next week.He had one last bullet left in the ‘All Star de Pétiga’ organized by the previous world record holder and friend of the French Renaud Lavillenie.

‘Mondo’ is an opportunity Duplantis doesn’t want to miss, and the Swede’s first 5.71m jump left some doubts as he failed his first attempt at 5.91.

The height, where the Scandinavian clearly exceeds the second, is the same as Duplantis’s 6.01 secured the victory ahead of Australian Kurtis Marshall, who was second with 5.91.and Dutch Menno Vloon, third with the same score.

Understanding that the goal of the winter season is to set a new world record, Armad Duplantis, with victory in his pocket, asked that the bar be set to 6.22 metersone centimeter more than his record.

The Swede couldn’t hold the bar on the first try, when he knocked down the pole with his right thigh when he started to fall, or the second time he couldn’t even reach the bar.

The two failed attempts Duplantis analyzed with Renaud Lavillenie, who was trying to fix it at the bottom of the track with the Swede, are the tiniest flaws keeping him from setting the new world record.

Scandinavian corrected details and in what way In his third attempt, which Armad Duplantis has clearly outstripped, this shows that he is still open to improvement.6.22 meters represented a new universal record.

Duplantis celebrated first place with Lavillenie, who, after jumping 6.16 in Donetsk, Ukraine, took the world record from legendary Sergey Bubka in 2014 and finally embraced the Swede on the mat. Duplantis, who was touched after breaking the new record in his statements to the L’Equipe newspaper chain, said, “I have no words … Incredible. I don’t even remember the last minutes, the last jump.”

Records confirm that there is no limit for the Swedish pole vaulter, who will certainly try to improve his record once the summer season begins.
