Armand Duplantis had a tough duel with the American Sam Kendricks, but the Swede broke the competitor when he managed 6.07 meters.

- It was a duel between those who are very important for the sport.

For the thrill of it, it is good if there is fighting around six meters.

So that there will be Armand against the tape measure says Jeng.

Duplantis did not tear once before the only attempt he had time to make at 6.15 before it got too dark.

- At the start of the season as he more often in the second or third attempt.

Now there were rings in the protocol all the way.

It indicates that the timing and the form is rising.

"Jumps energy-efficient"

The next race is already on Friday in Brussels, including the Diamond League.

It is broadcast by SVT.

Jeng sees two reasons for the "Mondo" can jump high even then.

- On the one hand, he is very young and it makes him recover faster.

Then he also jumps very energy-efficient.

- Today he made a lot of jumps so I think an alternative on Friday may be that he does not jump at every height.

Now he has a receipt that the shape is correct, so if he is a little worn, I can imagine that he drives an entrance height, some intermediate heights and then he goes for a record.

He's in that shape.

"A fight against the weather"

During the indoor season, Duplantis was in super form and he set a world record when he jumped 6.18 meters in Glasgow.

The expert Alhaji Jeng think he even beat it shortly.

- He's definitely in the battle as he was during the indoor season.

But outside, you always have the external weather conditions to consider.

You can be in great shape, but you have the straight head wind or rain and ten degrees.

The form is definitely there, it's more a battle against the weather than he could not cope with those heights, he says.
