In the competition sector of the other pole vaulters, Swede Armandas Duplentis only had such a warm-up. The closest to the 23-year-old Olympic and two-time world champion was the Philippine athlete Ernests Obiena, who overcame the bar placed at a height of 5.82 meters. Duplentis set the bar two centimeters higher than the Filipino’s personal best. 6.02 meters Obiena could not overcome, leaving the entire sector for the personal use of the Swedish athlete.
Since 2020, Duplentiss had come within a centimeter of the world record bar six times. Duplentis, who took over the world record from a height of 6.17 meters, placed the crossbar at a height of 6.23 meters in Eugene. Run, jump… audience cheers! Duplantis cleared the bar with his first run, breaking the pole vault world record for the seventh time in his career. The Swede did it for the second time right at the Oregon Stadium, where last year the Swede celebrated his first world championship title with a record.
