Duplantis will jump in Dutch Hengelo on Monday.
Last year he jumped 6.10 and has a good feeling.
After the outdoor debut in Doha was moved indoors due to strong winds and the branch was moved forward one day in Eugene last Friday, also due to bad weather, he is now looking forward to making his outdoor debut for real.
He hopes for warmth and maybe a little tailwind.
- If the weather conditions are good, I will do my best to set a world record.
I have a good feeling for Hengelo because I jumped well there last year, says the Swedish-American at a digital press conference where SVT Sport was the only Swedish media company.
22-year-old Duplantis has jumped over six meters in 41 competitions and now has only four left to Bubka's record with 45. That is something he is thinking about.
Greg's father was a contemporary of Bubka in the 1980s and 1990s and was constantly overshadowed.
It is noteworthy that Bubka was 21 years old the first time he managed six meters (in Paris 1985).
- I get closer and closer to Bubka's number of jumps over six meters.
It is a special feeling to jump over six meters and it is enjoyable, you never get used to crossing that barrier, says Duplantis.
Is it an addictive feeling?
- Yes, probably, especially if I can not do it, it's annoying.
So it's a feeling close to addiction, says Duplantis who only has the Diamond League galas in Oslo and Stockholm left before the World Cup in Eugene, Oregon, 15-24 July which is broadcast on SVT.
Bubka improved the world record 35 times.
Duplantis has a bit left here.
He has set world records four times: 6.17, 6.18, 6.19 and 6.20.
In pole vault, there is no international difference between indoor and outdoor.
An indoor jump is also counted as a world record outdoors.
Bubka's best result out there is 6.14 while Duplantis has 6.15 as the best result.
In Swedish record listings, however, there is a division between inside and outside.
Start lists Hengelo.
