In Avesta, they are incredibly proud of Armand Duplantis, whose grandfather co-founded the athletics association IK Stål, which both Armand's mother competed for and which is the first club he himself competed for in Sweden.
In February 2020, when Armand Duplantis set his first world record of 6.17 meters, Avesta municipality wanted to pay tribute to him with a world record bar next to the big Dala horse at highway 70. Since then, there have been some raises.
And on Monday it was time again.
In the clip: See when the record signs are raised and hear the municipal councilor Lars Isacsson's (S) thoughts about the significance for Avesta and how long the sign can continue to be raised - "It's big"
