“I simply felt actually good,” Duplantis advised reporters. “What can I say, I got here right here to do it. I put every thing in place to do it. The run-up labored rather well. I simply did it.”

Emmanouil Karalis was second with a Greek report clearance of 6.02m as six males cleared 5.91m or greater for the primary time in a single competitors.

The 25-year-old Duplantis – who earlier within the day launched his first tune “Bop” below his nickname “Mondo” – simply cleared heights of 5.65m, 5.91m, 6.02m, and 6.07m and with the victory secured, he had the bar raised to six.27 for his world-record try.

His tune performed over the sector’s sound system throughout his report bounce.

“After I made this tune a few months in the past, I believed this might be an ideal tune to leap to right here. That’s why I rushed it out,” Duplantis stated.

Duplantis has bettered the world report by a centimetre in every of his 11 instances, relationship again to 2020. He has damaged his world mark 4 instances within the final 11 months alone.

Renaud Lavillenie of France held the world report of 6.16, set in 2014, earlier than the Swedish star kicked off his onslaught.
