Armand Duplantis continues to impress. Although it was cloudy and chilly (16 degrees), he did not content himself with improving the stadium record at Slottskogsvallen once this GP evening.

After passing 5.80 (five centimeters above the previous record) in the third attempt, he claimed the bar at 5.90.

"Incredibly strong!"

There he tore on the first try, but in the second he managed after the drill on the bar. He cheered and high-fived with the spectators.

- Incredibly strong! It's a little cold, he's had to wait a long time and there's nothing else going on in the arena. It's incredibly strong! The level that he shows that he can do it in these situations is impressive, says SVT Sports expert Kajsa Bergqvist.

Did not finish 6am

But "Mondo" did not settle there, but he requested the bar at six meters. But there it stopped.

He tore all three attempts, but was quite close to the third and final attempt.

5.90 is a real world height. In addition to Duplantis, only four other jumpers in the world have managed that height.

He himself was pleased, but not overly lyrical.

"I mostly just tried to find a good rhythm today and am happy with 5.90," he told SVT Sport after the competition.

- I have had a three week rest period and have nipped up a lot of strength and speed. But the technology is not quite right, but it will.
