Mondo Duplantis soars to 11th world pole vault record

Mondo Duplantis has damaged the world pole vault report for the eleventh time in his illustrious profession.

The Swedish celebrity cleared 6.27m on his first try on the All Star Perche meet – based by Sergey Bubka and Renaud Lavillenie in 2016 – in Clermont-Ferrand, France.

Duplantis, who’s the double Olympic and world pole vault champion, had an ideal card with clearances at heights of 5.65m, 5.91m, 6.02m, 6.07m and 6.27m.

The 25-year-old broke the world report on no fewer than three events final yr, together with his vault of 6.25m happening on the Paris Olympics.

Duplantis has additionally achieved extra 60 clearances over the six-metre barrier, emphasising the consistency of the Swede on the worldwide stage.

Elsewhere on the All Star Perche meet, Emmanouil Karalis was second with a Greek report  of 6.02m, only a week after the Olympic bronze medallist vaulted over 6.01m.

Amazingly, six males cleared 5.91m or greater, the primary time it’s occurred in a single competitors.
