Duplantis jumps in Xiamen to 5.92 m: the record hunter remains unbeaten!

Xiamen, China - Armand Duplantis once again caused a sensation at the Diamond League start in Xiamen, China. The Swedish pole jumper crossed a height of 5.92 meters and thus secured victory. This happened just a few days after he had improved his own world record to 6.27 meters. Despite his impressive performance, Duplantis in Xiamen had three attempts to cope with the height of 6.01 meters, but without success. The 24-year-old remains a dominance in the pole vault with a total of eleven world records and 29 unbeaten competitions.

Duplantis recognizes the inheritance of the former record holder Sergey Bubka, whose world record of 6.14 meters had existed for 26 years in 1994. The Swedish athlete emphasizes that it still takes time to build a career similar to Bubka and respects the performance that the Ukrainian performed in his career. Bubka itself is a legend in athletics history and set standards with its records, which had existed for many years.

world records and competitions

It is noteworthy that Duplanis is not only successful outdoors, but also set up a world record of 6.18 meters in the high jump. This record was reached in February 2020 in Glasgow. Duplantis is now further focusing on the upcoming competitions, including the last Diamond League meeting in Doha. At the competition in Xiamen, he once again demonstrated his impressive skills, with international rivals such as Karsten Warholm and Faith Kipyegon also noticed by remarkable achievements.

• Karsten Warholm set up his own world record over 300 meters of hurdles and ran a time of 33.05 seconds.
• Faith Kipyegon missed the record over 1,000 meters by only 23 hundredths of a second.
• Beatrice Chebet won the 5,000 meter race with a time of 14: 21.12 minutes.
• Zhang Mingkun triumphed in the long jump with 8.18 meters, while Shericka Jackson took second place over 200 meters behind Anavia Battle.

The global records in the pole vault show the development and progress in this discipline. The history of the world records in the pole vault started many decades earlier, with the first records that were set up in the early 1900s. The current record of Duplantis not only illustrates its extraordinary skills, but also the constant progress that athletes can achieve over time. The challenges associated with such services should not be underestimated and require both physical and mental strength.

The next stage for Duplantis will certainly be exciting because it continues to chase records and start against international competition. The focus is not only on his own achievements, but also on respect for the history of this sport and the pioneers that have prepared the way.
