Summary
Only 8th place
All 13 finalists were still in at 5.60m, which Duplantis used as his opening height. 8 cleared 5.75m while Duplantis passed. At 5.85m, only 4 would clear with
Duplantis was not done. He asked for the bar to be set at 6.20 m (20 ft 4 in) which would be an improvement on the world record he had set in this same facility just 12 days earlier. Duplantis pulled out a new, stiffer pole. His first attempt was getting the feel of the new pole as he went under the bar. After an agonizing 15 minute delay for the men's 4x400 relay, his second attempt also met with similar results. After another 9 minute delay for the women's 4x400 relay, he quickly came down the runway after his name was called. His first legitimate attempt at the height got his hips well over the bar, but he brushed it on the way back down. The bar stayed up and it was a new world record.
Results
The final was started at 16:35.[2]
