Armand Duplantis did his first competition after the WC in Eugene today, where he won WC gold and a world record.

At the Diamond League event in Chorzów, Poland, it was a scheduled victory, his 18th in succession since the current streak began in Paris last August.

Did not make a world record attempt

The race, which was decided in wet conditions, was already decided after 5.83.

Then the only two remaining competitors (Sondre Guttormsen and Ernes John Obiena) pulled away.

Duplantis then claimed the bar in 6.00, which was an improvement on Renaud Lavillenie's five-year-old stadium record of 5.91.

The next height was 6.10, which he managed in the third attempt.

After that he settled for this time.
