6 August 2024 at 10:49 Reveals fierce party: – Perhaps a little too hard Armand Duplantis defended the Olympic gold and just as well set a raw world record in Paris on Monday. The feat was celebrated with a damp night in the French capital. Duplantis already secured the gold in Monday’s pole vault final when he swung with ease over 6.00 metres. Afterwards he moved the bar up to 6.10 and then the world record height of 6.25. In the third attempt, the rod king set the ninth world record of his career. The scenes of jubilation were wild. After the virus had subsided at the Stade de France, Duplantis celebrated the gold and the world record in the Paris night with, among others, friends and the double Swedish Olympic gold winner Sarah Sjöström. On Tuesday morning, the 24-year-old visited TV channel Max’s broadcast from Paris. Duplantis, bleary-eyed, looked tired after a night of partying. – I had almost all my closest friends here. My family was also here. Pinned hard, maybe a little too hard for this early morning. But it was as fun as it could be, smiled the King of Wands. Duplantis claimed that it had only been half an hour since they had ended the party. In the studio, the Swedish-American was able to see the TV images of his record jump for the first time. – It’s like a dream, it’s hard to understand that it’s real, he said. (NTB)
