More than 100 times over 6 meters: Duplantis Hallen world champion
The number is almost unbelievable: pole jumper Armand Duplantis crosses the 100th times 6 meters at the Hallen World Cup in China. That alone is not enough. There is a German medal chance on Sunday.
The two -time Olympic champion Armand Duplantis celebrated a historical leap on the way to the world championship title in the hall. The pole vault king from Sweden crossed the 6 meters for the 100th time in the title fights of the athletes in Nanjing. With his 102nd jump over this height and 6.15 meters, the 25-year-old then won his next gold medal.
For comparison: the Ukrainian pole vault legend Sergei Bubka jumped 45 by six meters or higher in his entire career. “Mondo” Duplantis won the World Cup title in the hall for the third time in China. The Greek Emmanouil Karalis was second. At 6.05 meters, the 25-year-old also did not simply let the almost unbeatable world recordler and world champion Duplantis pull away.
Heditor Steinforth good in the race
Bo Kanda Lita Baehre (Düsseldorf) said goodbye to the competition at 5.70 meters at 5.70 meters. The 25-year-old ended the competition with 5.50 meters on divided eighth place. It works better for all -rounders Till Steinforth. The European Championship third is promising in the heptathlon before the decision on Sunday. After four out of seven disciplines, the Olympic participant is run in fourth place by SV Halle.
The two-time Olympic champion Jakob Inherited added the World Cup title over 3,000 meters to his extensive track record. The 24 -year -old Norwegian won in 7: 46.09 minutes. Sam Parsons (Berlin) took twelfth place for eight seconds. Gold over 60 meters hurdles went to the American Olympic champion and permanent winner Grant Holloway in 7.42 seconds.
After silver, the Cuban Leyanis Pérez Hernández won the title in the triple jump last year with 14.93 meters. Dreifinger Jessie Maduka (Cologne) lined up in eighth place after 13.82 meters.
World Cup without top German stars
The German Athletics Association is only represented with a small contingent in the title fights. Most of the DLV team around the Olympic champions Malaika Mihambo (long jump) and Yemisi Ogunleye (shot put) assume the hall event a year with the outdoor world championships in Tokyo.
