Duplantis pushed American Chris Nilsen to second place, just like last year at the Tokyo Olympics, who jumped 581 cm. The 22-year-old Swede tried another 607 cm, but all three jumps were unsuccessful.

“The main thing was victory, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t like the 607. I thought it could work. Not today,” said Duplantis, whose world record is 620 cm.

Ukrainian Jaroslava Mahučichová was the first climber to jump 200 cm this year. “It’s good for the first start of the season. I jumped fantastically. I hope it will go even higher,” said the indoor champion of the world and Europe and the bronze Olympian from Tokyo.
