At the Indoor World Championships in Athletics belgrade on 21 March 2022, Swedish teenager Duplantis used his last chance to cross the height of 6.20 meters and once again successfully broke the world record, and his dominance of the sport of pole vaulting was already comparable to bolt-of-life Usain's dominance in sprinting.
Swedish youngster Duplantis, who is only 23 years old this year, but he has broken the world record five times in his career, and on march 8, not long ago, he broke the world record with a score of 6 meters 19, not only that, but on March 21, just 13 days later, he once again broke the world record of 6 meters 19 he had set, crossing the height of 6 meters 20, although it is relatively easy to improve the high jump compared to sprinting. But it was incredible that it took him just 13 days to break the world record again.
Although people are unexpected, but it is reasonable, only 23-year-old Duplantis, in just thirteen days to break two consecutive world records, in just two years to break five consecutive world records, this is how talented to achieve such results, and how hard to pay in exchange for such results, we do not know.
Compared to Bolt's seven-time world record-breaking, Duplantis's current dominance is comparable to the peak of Bolt, but Bolt has retired, and Duplantis is only 23 years old, his career is still very long, which means that he may continue to maintain his rule in the field of pole vaulting, the former Sergey Bubka, is now about to be replaced by the new king Duplantis, this time breaking the world record may already mean that Duplantis was crowned king in the pole vault, This also means that the era of Duplantis has officially begun, he will be the leader of the human high jump cause, and he will also be an undefeated myth in the field of high jump.
The myth of breaking five world records in two years belongs to Duplantis, his career may rule the field of pole vaulting for a long time, as far as the current development trend is concerned, his dominance is difficult to be broken, and the young player who constantly refreshes the world record is very scary, not only has a very high talent, but also has a lot of time, perhaps in the near future, he will also be Bolt in the field of pole vaulting, and even surpass Bolt's influence to become the real king of pole vault.
Are you looking forward to Duplantis's future career? Let's take a look at the king of pole vaulting to defend his title.
