the swedish athlete Armand Duplantis, Olympic and world pole vault champion, was presented in front of fans in the center of the city of Lausanne with a jump of 6.10 meters (meeting record), which gave him victory by a margin of 30 centimeters in the second classified. At 22 years old, it was his 53rd jump within six meters in his entire career.
The Plaza de la Navegación served as a popular setting for the pole vault event, which was a day before the general program of Athletissima, the Diamond League athletics meeting.
The Swedish athlete, who at the recent World Championships in Eugene (Oregon, USA) won his first world title by raising his record to 6.21 meters, was left alone in the competition when he exceeded 5.90. He then had to exhaust all three attempts to clear the heights of 6.00 and 6.10. He did not continue the jump.
The American Christopher Nilsen, winner last year in Lausanne and current runner-up in the world, remained at 5.80, the same as the Philippine Ernest John Obiena -world bronze- and the Norwegian Sonfre Guttormsem.
The Lavillenie brothers had a bad day in downtown Lausanne. Both Renaud (former world record holder) and Valentin jumped 5.40 meters.
