On February 8, 2020, Duplantis broke the Frenchman and also his friend Renaud Lavillenie's six-year-old world record of 6.16 meters, after a jump of 6.17 in Torún in Poland.
The week later, on February 15, the Swedish-American struck again with a new giant leap.
The new world record was set at 6.18.
The 20-year-old also holds the world record of 6.15 indoors after breaking the icon Sergei Bubka's record in Rome.
But it is the first world record from Torún that Duplantis values most.
- Nothing can be compared to the first, so I feel especially now when I lean back and realize what I have done, says Duplatis in SVT's Skavlan.
The athletics star then becomes emotional as he develops the world record further.
- To break the world record was so unreal and very difficult to describe.
It's been so long since I started.
I started jumping when I was three years old in my mother's and father's backyard.
Then I dreamed of being the best in the world.
So once that day came, it is impossible to explain, says Duplantis.
Not just pole vault - also golf
Duplantis has on several occasions shown his great interest in golf.
In connection with Duplantis receiving the Victoria Scholarship, he and Prince Daniel played a round on Öland.
Fredrik Skavlan then wonders who was really the best.
Was the prince better than you?
- Yes, he was.
He was really good.
Almost too good.
I thought he had to play every day, says Duplantis.
