Within a week, Armand Duplantis broke the world record in the double jump on two occasions. The first world record set Duplantis in Polish Torún when he beat Renaud Lavillenie's six-year-old world record of 6.16 with a jump of 6.17. A week later, he set the world record by a centimeter during a grand prix competition in Glasgow, Scotland.
Last Wednesday he failed to set a new record in French Lievin - but he already has another chance. The one during the stake jump gala in Clemont-Ferrand, which is Renaud Lavillenie's home plan that SVT broadcasts.
There Duplantis went in at 5.65 which he was high above.
- I'm just tanning. It feels like it is buying milk, it is complete, says SVT Sports expert Alhaji Jeng in SVT's broadcast.
