The Swedish athlete won the gold medal at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, USA.
In American Eugene the world championship in athletics ended. On the final day of the tournament, pole vault sector competitions for men were held.
There is no sensation here. The gold medal was won by Swede Armand Duplantis. The competition favorite in the second attempt took the bar at a height of 6.21 meters.
Thus, the Scandinavian improved his previous indoor world record by 1 cm, which he set in Belgrade in March 2022, and the outdoor record by 5 cm.

Note that Duplantis traditionally competes in the sector itself. His main pursuers did not even cover the six meter bar.
The silver medal was won by American Christopher Nielsen, who beat Filipino Ernest John Obien in total attempts. Both athletes took 5.94m.
