Jeng: "There is no stop"

Last week, Armand Duplanti's new world record indoors hit 6.17 in Poland. The record lived just a week when he today in Glasgow polished his own record by a centimeter. He had a wide margin when he managed 6.18.

- A few weeks ago I said he could jump 6.25, but if you look at the day jumping there is no stopping. There is so much more to develop. Even though he is perfectly technically speaking and is one with the wand, there are still some physical ash aspects that he can develop. Since then, it feels like he is doing very well in this spotlight and I think he can benefit from it, says SVT Sports expert Alhaji Jeng and continues:

- But with that said, I don't want to detract from anything he does today. Because it is absolutely outstanding. 6.18 is one of the best world records we have in athletics. It's a fantastic record, he says.

How high do you think he can jump?

- I have said before that he will jump video game results. Then whether it's 6.30 or 6.40, I don't know. But that is the kind of result that he will come up with.

After the indoor season, an outdoor season awaits with the big highlight of the Tokyo Olympics. Of course, Duplanti's will be a big favorite.

- When he jumps as he does today, he builds such a high low level and on a "bad day" he can jump 6.05. Then I find it difficult for someone else to beat him in an Olympic qualifier.

The world record outdoors has legend Sergey Bubka at 6.14. Alhaji Jeng thinks it is possible for Duplantis to beat.

- Definitely. There are some benefits outdoors. If it is 25-30 degrees with a slight headwind in the back, it will be an additional benefit. What is the advantage of indoors is that it is always the same conditions as long as you have no fixed paths.
