The Swedish Pole Vaulter is in a competition all by himself. He now has the 9 highest jumps of all time. What a wonderful way to break the World Record
@Rocker and he's only 24 years old 🤯
@killingfloorman Legend! Remember watching Sergei Bubka finally break 6m (21 freedom units😜) and thinking nobody could really go higher and now it's 25cm higher (that's about ten inches, barbarians).
Absolutely incredible.
@stueytheround I think I'm right in saying silver and Bronze didn't break 6m. It was 2 different competitions
@killingfloorman This time, yes. Generally, 5.95m is the cutoff for medals, but it won't be long before you'll need 6m to get a medal at all. There are several who'll be doing that soon, I think.
@killingfloorman Duplantis is that 'once in a lifetime' athlete - I've never seen anything like it. Doubt I will again.
