Swedish pole vaulter Armand Duplantis set a new world record with a winning height of 6.27 meters at the All Star Perche event in Clermont-Ferrand, France on Friday, marking the 11th time he has broken the world pole vault record, reported Xinhua.
At the World Athletics Indoor Tour silver meeting, Duplantis started his competition at 5.65m. The 25-year-old eased past 5.91m and 6.02m on his first attempts.
After clearing 6.07m to secure the victory, he had the bar raised to 6.27m and conquered that height on his first attempt, improving his previous record set at the Diamond League meeting in Silesia, Poland last August by one centimeter.
It is also the second time for Duplantis to break the world record in Clermont-Ferrand as he achieved 6.22m in the French city two years ago to celebrate his sixth world record.
