00:00Sweden's Armand Duplantis soars 6.28 meters to break the world pole vault record at the
00:05Diamond League event in Stockholm on Sunday or Monday, June 16, Manila time.
00:10This is his twelfth time to set a new world-best mark.
00:13He says, quote, This was one of my biggest goals and dreams, to set a world record here
00:18in stadion.
00:19I had my whole family here from both sides, it's magic, it's magic.
00:23The moment his name was announced at the Swedish Capitals Olympic Stadium, the crowd responded
00:27by wildly clapping and cheering at his every attempt as he cruised through the competition.
00:32Duplantis' rival Curtis Marshall did his best to challenge the hometown favorite but could
00:36only manage a best effort of 5.90 before making three unsuccessful attempts to clear the 6-meter
00:42mark.
00:43Delighting the home crowd, the double Olympic champion improves on his own previous record
00:47set in February 2025.
00:49He says, I'm still a little hazy in my mind.
00:52It feels unreal.
00:53I'm just so happy.
00:54It's a cloud nine feeling.
00:56It's hard to explain.
00:57It's hard to compare.
00:58It felt a bit like the Olympics.
