Armand Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record at the Diamond League in Xiamen, China, clearing 6.24m. Duplantis bettered his previous mark of 6.23m set at the Eugene Diamond League finale in September, clearing the bar with ease before leaping up off the sponge mat below and racing off in celebration at his first outdoor event of the year. It is the eighth time that Duplantis has broken the world record, and the 24-year-old was the only man to clear six metres at the Egret Stadium.

He is so far ahead of his competition it’s unbelievable.

What an athlete. He is putting the achievements of the great Sergei Bubka in the shade. Armand is doing for the pole vault what Usain Bolt did for the 100m/200m. The question now is what is the length limit for a safe pole? Unlike other events, this one must have a limit that is coming soon.

Amazing how it is when someone breaks the world record in athletics like this over and over again. After a few records people just stop caring about it as much and does not give the credit where it's due.

Speak for yourself. Every world record in Track and Field is special. Some last for decades others may be bettered within minutes, but they’re all brilliant.

he doesn't breaks the WR time and time again, he gets a bonus every time he breaks it, he knew he could jump higher earlier, why break the record by 10cm when you can break it by 1-2 cm multiple times and get an expensive watch or cash every time.

That's nearly 20 feet, 6 inches. Completely insane that someone can convert a fast run into an gain in height of over 20 feet. Respect.

@timn4481 Ай бұрын

imagine if he jumped what he actually could?.. he'll break WRs cm by cm which is actually a shame. 3 years ago he couldve jumped 6.35.

@Antwonio9 Ай бұрын

You're exaggerating now. I believe he maybe already could've jumped 6.25 last year, but 6.35 is just ridicilous. He goes up by 1cm for the money, but also because it's incredibly difficult. He doesn't break the record every meeting does he?

@powerrangers16712 Ай бұрын

if I were him, I go up every 1cm as well. If he went for 2cm (6.26) and cant do it, it will build pyschological barrier.

it's about the money. the more often he breaks it, the more money he gets. the GOAT of pole vaulting, sergey bubka, did it that way too, though sometimes he did it by 2cms instead of 1
