Since first setting the world record in 2020 at 6.17 meters, Duplantis has continued to improve his performance, with his latest feat reaching a height that is 23 centimeters higher. This was accomplished after only four jumps, showcasing his precision and skill in the sport.

Following his record-breaking leap, Duplantis expressed a strong connection to Sweden, stating that competing in front of his home crowd gives him added confidence.

Looking ahead, Duplantis is set to compete at the World Indoor Championships in Toruń, Poland, at the end of March. This upcoming event will provide another opportunity for him to showcase his extraordinary talents and possibly break yet another world record, further solidifying his legacy in the athletics world.
