It took 51 tries for Armand Duplantis at 6.19.
On Monday night, the Swede broke his own world record, when he slipped over the crossbar on the third attempt in Belgrade.
Mother Helena Duplantis saw the hope of returning home from the United States.
- Finally!
That was nice.
He has been close so many times, she says afterwards.
"It was a little dead"
She says it has been going on, but that it was not a given that it would come at the Belgrade Indoor Meeting on Monday.
- I saw it on TV and did not think it looked like there were so many people.
It was a little dead.
But it worked anyway.
SVT Sports' expert believes that "Mondo" can handle 6.30 in the future. What do you say about that?
- Yes, you ... Who knows.
It's just honking and driving.
This was at least a nice message before the World Cup and it was good that he got to feel the courts in Belgrade.
