Duplantis started the competition with a successful clearance of 5.62 meters, and then jumped over the bar with a height of 5.92 and six meters on his first attempt.
While the Swede’s nearest competitor retired after three failed attempts at 6.08 meters, Duplantis cleared 6.26 meters on his second attempt, bettering his own world record by one centimeter.
It was the tenth time that the 24-year-old Swedish athlete broke the pole vault world record.
In the Diamond League stage, American Sam Kendricks won second place with six meters overcome, while Greek Emanuil Karalis took third place with the same result, who achieved a new Greek and personal record.
On the other hand, Ingebrigtsen finished in 7 minutes and 17.55 seconds in the 3000-meter run, breaking a 28-year-old record by more than three seconds. The previous world record was achieved in 1996 by the Kenyan Daniel Komen.
Ethiopians Berihu Aregavi and Yomif Kejelcha finished second and third, 3.27 seconds and 10.89 seconds behind Ingebrigtsen respectively.
