Duplantis has invited the world elite to the gala "Beijer Stavhoppsgala".
The competition is the first for Duplantis at the home arena in Uppsala and is a pure pole gala.
- I want to jump as high as I can, for everyone in Uppsala who has supported me and watched TV.
I want to show everyone what I can do, I feel good so I do not know why I could not jump six meters or higher, Duplantis said at the press conference before the gala to SVT Sport.
Duplanti's entrance height was 5.55 meters and the Swede managed it by a large margin.
- I have not been so nervous in a long time.
It felt great.
It can be a good competition, he says in the broadcast after the first jump.
5.70 and 5.81 he also managed without problems.
