Duplantis set a new world record, 6.29, as recently as on Tuesday at a competition in Hungary. That jump was Mondo's 13th world record. The next limit is the "dream level" 6.30, but it did not come under Saturday in Poland.
It felt completely okay. I was a little tired in my legs after Budapest, to be honest. but it's no surprise, I think it's common, he says to SVT.
Duplantis made an unusual mistake early in the competition when he failed once at 5.60. The 25-year-old had no problems winning the competition at 6.10. He then failed at 6.20.
It's a bit tough, of course. You get a little tired after (a world record) and the recovery is quite short. But it felt completely okay, he says to SVT.
