Failed the 2nd attempt, just getting the high point a bit wrong.

Ah crap, not maths, it's my inability to listen to what's going on

Obviously it's 6.25.

Stadium still packed, just staying for this pole vault. Nothing else on now or are there medal ceremonies left?

Not sure he is as focused with the USA guy talking to him non stop

Showing all our yesterdays again on BBC 1 instead of any of his world record vault attempts live!

On the runway for attempt number 3.

Edit: oh they are gonna show it!

Unreal

That was alright I suppose.

Wow, Duplantis just set a new olympic record and then a new world record.

Go again while in form, or leave it at 6.25?

At least he didn’t knock his WR attempt off by his Willy.

Impressive

Nah, finish on a high I'd say.

May as well leave it, unless the rest use jet packs it will stand for a long while, well unless he breaks it again

Certainly in the old days there was money in a WR and keeping bumping it up by 1cm at time at different meets got you more money that's what Bubka used to do but not sure now.

Good to see Craig Charles coming third in the pole vault as well

Just mentioned something similar on the TV. His shoe contract pays him for WR's or something

Just said on BBC there's $$$$ each time the record is broken, so they beat it by 1cm and call it a day.

They’ll need higher bars.
