The Diamond Leaguein which there was a clear protagonist: Armand Duplantis. Six months, four continents, fifteen cities, a final in Brussels and the best athletes in the world. It all started in Xiamen (China), where athletics stars gathered to shine in the competition that is a clear dress rehearsal for the Olympic Games.
The one who achieved the most glory was Armand Duplantis, who managed to break the world record, his own record that he had previously set at 6.22 meters. But the Swede was clear that today he would break the record. A jumper who, after winning with some suffering in Glasgow, this Saturday set out to conquer the world with a brilliant and confident attitude and execution.
He started his first jump feeling modest and jumping 5.62, but raised the level to 5.82 which he easily surpassed, as did the American Sam Kendricks, who was following him. She also faced the 6 meter barrier with great security, So much so that confidence led him to stand before the 6.24 meters that he incredibly surpassed. The Swede once again took the world record, which he had already managed to establish in 2023 at 6.22 meters. Xiamen and the entire world had their eyes on the best pole vault athlete in history who set the bar very high: at 6.24 meters.
