After he had attempted the height, which was one centimeter higher than his previous world record, at the Hallen-Istaf in Berlin, but failed, he succeeded this time on the third attempt. According to World Athletics, it is Duplantis’ sixth world record. In February 2020 he replaced Renaud Lavillenie as the world record holder with 6.17 meters.
