Sweden's Armand Duplantis soared 6.27 metres to shatter the world pole vault record for a staggering 11th time at the All Star Perche meet in Clermont-Ferrand, France on Friday.
The double Olympic pole vault champion cleared 6.27m on his first attempt to break his previous global mark of 6.26m set in Silesia in August.
Duplantis has bettered the world record by a centimetre in each of his 11 times, dating back to 2020. He has broken his global mark four times in the last 11 months alone.
Renaud Lavillenie of France held the world record of 6.16m, set in 2014, before the Swedish star kicked off his onslaught.
