Armand Duplantis breaks world record in pole vault

Armand Duplantis has set a new pole vault record, reaching 6.24 meters this Saturday in Xiamen (China). In this way, the Swede breaks his own mark, achieved in September of last year, by one centimeter.

Duplantis, 24, dominated the competition from the beginning without much complication. Later, the Swede, who is undefeated in the indoor season, secured the victory with a jump of 5.82 meters, even before breaking his own record, previously mentioned. The American Sam Kendricks, two-time world champion, was his closest pursuer, but without managing to exceed 6 meters in any of his attempts.
