Duplantis was error free up to 5.83. The first demolition came at 5.93 where it stopped. He was close to last in the last attempt, but tore his stomach.
From the side, world set man Sam Kendrick's (6.06) was able to focus and manage in his third attempt. After passing 5.93 without a shudder, the American rushed around the stadium in a wild roar of joy. He then called up the bar at 6.05 but then refused to make any attempts at height. That was enough for the prestige victory.
