Athlé: Duplantis wins in Suzhou, but without a new world record to show for it

The pole vaulter phenomenon Armand Duplantis comfortably won at the Diamond League meeting in Suzhou (China) on Saturday, this time without improving the world record that he raised to 6.24 m a week ago for his return to school summer.

Duplantis (24 years old) stumbled three times on a bar placed for the first time at 6.25 m - closer and closer to the top of the vault posts.

Before that, the reigning Olympic champion, double world champion and double European champion had cleared 5.62 m, 5.82 m, 5.92 m and 6 meters on his first attempt.

Behind, Belgian Ben Broeders and American Sam Kendricks both topped out at 5.82m and shared second place.

For his first competition of the Olympic summer a week ago in Xiamen (China), at the opening of the Diamond League, Duplantis improved the world record for the eighth time in his career in four years, bringing it to 6 .24 m.

It was in February 2020 that the Swede seized the world record, dispossessing the Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie (6.17 m against 6.16 m).
