On the evening of the 15th Beijing time, Sweden's duplantis won the men's pole vault with a score of 6.18 meters at the Glasgow stop of the IAAF 2020 indoor world tour, raising his indoor world record just a week ago by 1 cm.
In the previous torun race in Poland, the 20-year-old Swedish player duplandis successfully challenged the height of 6.17 meters in the pole vault final, and broke the indoor world record of 6.16 meters set by Lavigne in 2014.
"I realized my dream since I was three years old," duplantis said in an interview after breaking the record
When people cheered for him, they probably didn't expect that the record would be broken by himself so soon. In Glasgow, England, duplantis has locked the champion in advance after crossing the heights of 5.50 meters, 5.75 meters and 6 meters.
Duplantis celebrates another record breaking.
Then he decided to challenge his world record of 6.17 meters. With only one trial jump, he crossed the bar of 6.18 meters and broke the world record twice in a week.
Duplantis's performance also reminds people of Isinbayeva, the queen of pole vault who once 'broke the record in eating and sleeping', and feels that she has returned to the era of breaking the record one centimeter by one centimeter.
According to media reports, duplantis comes from a sports family. His father Greg is a former pole vaulter, his mother Helena is a former women's Heptathlon and volleyball player, and his two brothers are also athletes.
