‘World’ Duplantis He was still not satisfied and gave his fans another exhibition with a pole to raise the best mark outside to 6.16 meters. The Swedish genius was the great attraction of the Stockholm Diamond League and lived up to expectations in another leap in history two weeks before competing in the Oregon World Cup. Duplantis, who hung Olympic gold in Tokyo, completes 2022 from another planet with two world records, inside Belgrade with 6.20, and the best jump in history outside this Thursday.
At the meeting in Stockholm, it was enough for Duplantis to clear the bar at 5.83m to beat all his rivals, including Olympic champions Thiago Braz (Rio 2016) and Renaud Lavillenie (London 2012). The next jump of 6.03 was just a formality for the Swede and, with success in his pocket and seeing his great performances throughout the night, he decided to go straight for the world record. The first attempt was unsuccessful, but the public began to sing for its leading star, who responded with a spectacular second attempt that elevated him by more than 6.16 meters.
Because of the euphoria for the success achieved, Duplantis decided not to continue competing to focus his efforts on the next appointment with Eugene. The Swede is limitless and has accumulated ten jumps of more than 6.07 meters in its history and four of the ten best scores in external history.
