Armand Duplantis has now shattered the world record an incredible 11 times. The 25-year-old needed just one attempt to clear the new benchmark, eclipsing the 6.26m height he set in Silesia last August. Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis finished second, setting a national record with a clearance of 6.02m. For the first time ever, six athletes cleared 5.91m or higher in a single competition. ‘I just did it’: Du Plantis after smashing pole vault world record for 11th time. “I just felt really good. I put everything in place to do it. The run-up worked really well. I just didIt,\” he said after the historic performance. \”When I made this song a couple of months ago, I thought this would be a perfect song to jump to here,\” he added of his newly released song Bop. ‘I rushed it out.’
