Armand Duplantis in Sweden broke the world of male pole jump for the 14th time on the way to gold at the world athletics championships in Tokyo.
Duplantis struck new heights with a third authorization of 6.30 meters to continue his tradition to beat his own previous record in one centimeter when he obtained his third consecutive world title.
With the track events completed during the Monday evening session at the National Stadium in Tokyo, all eyes were on Duplantis who presented a show for the 60,000 spectators by making history again.
The 25 -year -old was close to his first attempt and even closer to his second, throwing the bar with his thigh while the crowd pelves.
Surrounded by his competitors, Duplantis was made up before his last effort and cleaned the bar by the smallest of the margins, causing wild celebrations with the other pole vaultres and its coaches.

Duplantis dominated the male pole jump in the past six years, breaking the world record for French Renaud Lavillenie 6.17 m in February 2020.
Since then, he has improved the record by increasing one centimeter because it is understood that Duplantis receives sponsorship bonuses each time he breaks the world record.
Designated global athletics meetings also distribute bonuses up to $ 100,000 (£ 74,000), plus the competition price.
Duplantis is considered the largest pole vaulter of all time
Duplantis is also only the second man after the Ukrainian service of Sergey Bubka to win three outdoor outdoor jump titles.
Bubka broke the world record 17 times over a period of 10 years between 1984 and 1994, which Duplantis was on the right track.
Emmanouil Karalis, in Greece, took the money with a better jump of 6.00 m, after three narrow cleaning attempts of 6.10 m, 6.15 m and 6.20m to try to upset Duplantis.
Australia Kurtis Marschall won bronze for the second consecutive world championships.
