On February 8, 2020, Armand Duplantis entered the history books as he jumped the world record, 6.17, at a gala in Polish Torun.

In coronation times, the pole-hopper has now chosen to auction off his license plate from that Saturday evening in Poland.

Last Wednesday, Duplantis started bidding at the Tradera auction site.

The description reads: “ Stavehopper Armand Duplantis is athlete's new superstar and, as a 20-year-old, has not one, but two world records in the baggage. He set his first world record earlier this year when he jumped 6.17 in Polish Torun.

Now Armand is auctioning the number tag he wore during the world record jump in Torun in favor of the corona virus risk groups. The license plate is signed by Armand. "

The starting amount for the number tag: SEK 100. Two days later, the highest bid is now up to SEK 8,399 with six days left.
