Sweden's Armand Duplantis broke the world pole vault record for the 12th time in his incredible career at the Stockholm Diamond League on Sunday (15) evening.
But for the first time, Duplantis revised the record books on home soil, clearing 6.28m on his first attempt in front of a capacity crowd in the Olympic Stadium in the Swedish capital.
Duplantis was in typically imperious form, clearing 5.60m, 5.80m, 5.90m and 6.00m on his first attempts before raising the bar to 6.28m which he also cleared on his first attempt, adding one centimetre to his previous world record of 6.27m set in Clermont-Ferrand in February.
"I think it'll be one of the greatest memories for me in my career. I'm going to keep pushing forward like always. I'm going to jump higher. I'm just going to enjoy this, enjoy the moment right now. There's not much between me and 6.30m, technically. It's just a few centimetres. I'm just a perfect day away from it.
It get's a little tougher as it gets higher though. I think technically, physically, and everything like that I am right there," said Duplantis, who also extends his win streak to 29 competitions.
