The 25-year-old cleared 6,27 metres at an indoor meeting in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The two-time Olympic champion was able to celebrate his eleventh world record, the International Athletics Federation announced.

Duplantis recently failed to clear this height at the Istaf Indoor in Berlin. In France, he won his competition with a height of 6,02 metres and then also managed to clear the world record in the encore.
