The Swede is even aiming to beat his own world record of 6.23 meters this Thursday at the meeting of Clermont-Ferrand (France)before the Glasgow Indoor World Cup (March 1-3).
“I’m in good shape. I think my first two competitions of the year don’t reflect my true form. I know I’m in very good shape, I’m training very well, at the level I want. My first two competitions are a it’s a little frustrating, but it’s a very small thing and easy to solve. I feel good, safe, strong, fast. I have confidence in what to do, where I am. I know I’m at a high level now,” said Duplantis , who will attack his world record.
“My goal on Thursday is to jump 6.24 meters, but first I have to take another step. First, I have to win and pass the bars below six meters, but I think it is possible, that it is within reach -my hand,” he added in Swedish.
