Armand Duplantis has been almost unbeatable in recent years.
But the day before yesterday, the pole vault sovereign broke out already at 5.82 - and missed the podium in a Diamond League competition for the first time in two years.
But today, when the Diamond League moved to Paris, things went better.
Passed 5.96 in the first
Admittedly, he tore a jump of 5.91, but then it went as usual.
He saved the next attempt to 5.96, and he managed it.
Philippine batsman Ernest John Obiena, who set a national record when he passed 5.91, tore his first two attempts at 5.96, and then saved the last attempt at 6.01 - a height he also failed.
However, Duplantis managed the height immediately, with tremors on the bar.
Thus, Duplanti's victory was complete - and he then demanded the bar at the world record height of 6.19.
