This was the first time Duplantis broke the world record, previously breaking the 10-year age group record with a jump of 3.86m in 2010.

2. 2020 - 6.18m

Only a week after creating the World Record in Poland, Duplantis bettered his record with a 6.18m jump at the Indoor Grand Prix in Glasgow, Scotland.

Duplantis stated the following after setting new record in Glasgow;

It’s the best little split second that could ever be,

Everything builds up to that one tiny little moment. That little free-fall is a magical moment.
