Swedish Armand Duplantis is the hottest athlete in the world of sports and he has twice broken the world record in pole vault. Today he got to know what it's like to be on the other side when Chris Nilsen jumped 5.93 meters - one centimeter higher than Duplanti's highest jump in a college competition.

Duplantis set his record almost exactly a year ago.

Nilsen's personal record outdoors is 5.95 meters.
