Duplantis in the Stockholm Diamond League is setting a new world record

The doubles overcame the bar at 5.63, 5.83, 5.93 and 6.03 meters in the first attempt, but 6.16 meters in the second attempt.

This is the best performance ever at the stadium, an improvement on the previous result, which was achieved in September 2020 in Rome.

“I feel like I’m definitely in shape to win the world title and maybe do something special in Jujin,” said the 22-year-old Olympic champion, who has had the world’s best show jumping since March at the 6.20-meter-long World Cup in Belgrade. .

The record for Duplant in Stockholm seemed “wonderful, but in reality it wasn’t such a big surprise”.

“There are better things I can do. I felt very good jumping today, but it wasn’t that I did everything so perfectly that I didn’t think I could do better, ”added the record holder. “It simply came to our notice then. I live about ten minutes away, so you want to win at home first. ”

The second place was won by the American Christopher Nilsen with a bar overcoming the bar at a height of 5.93 meters, and the third place was won by the Brazilian Tjaga Brazs, who overcame the height with the second attempt.

Latvian athletes did not start in Stockholm.
