Armand Duplantis breaks own pole vault world record at Xiamen Diamond League

Now bar at 6:24. This would be a new world record Mondo de plantis. Oh yes. A world beater yet again. And it’s only mid-april. Would you believe it, Mondo? On top of the world? First time in China. It’s a day he’ll never forget. 623 of course, last year he extended his own world record and he’s added another centimetre. Mondo Duplantis world record holder once again. Just wonderful. There’s all of us. They want to know. He looked a bit shaky in Glasgow. I’m not sure De Plantis is quite what he was in the last three years and what does he do? Comes out in the outdoor season first competition, adds A centimetre to his own world record. It was wonderful when he hit that mark at the Prefontaine Diamond League final last season. It just kind of. Signed off a wonderful year last year, but to start higher than that in the 2024 season? There you go. We can’t, can’t write Deplantis off quite yet. Wow, well that’s just brought the stadium alive and it takes the breath away. Another world record for Duplantis. And to set a world record like that on the 20th of April for goodness sake. These things tend to happen as he did last year at the end of a season.
