  1. He did 6,25 meters, the guy who got second jumped 5,95. It’s incredible!!!

  2. For people to understand what a generational talent he is:

    – Duplantis casually warmed up at 5.95 (silver medal)
    – 2nd place got to 5.95 – 25 cm above the 11th place (and mind you, this is post qualifying)
    – Duplantis won the medal at 6, took the OR at 6.10 (+6) and then WR (and new OR) at 6.25

    In other words: Duplantis was further ahead of #2 than #2 was of #11.

    This absolutely dominance is truly exceedingly rare. Hats off!

  3. And add to that a fenomenal crowd… The moment he went over that stadium erupted!

    What a treat to watch and congrats to him! He is a generational talent …
