Duplantis He has made the exceptional everyday. For years he has no rivals, he competes against himself. Gold has been hung in everything that has competed. European, World Cups, Olympics… all within a continuous improvement of historical records. Accumulates 13 world records in 5 years, the last one a day ago in Budapest When it jumped up to 6.29 meters. To a centimeter of breaking another barrier.
Will seek to break into the Tokyo World Cupon September 15, with a sequence as repetitive as unique. It is only within your reach. Raise the pole, run loaded with conviction, nail the pole and take off to heaven. During its flight without the engine, it goes from being completely vertical to forming an L with your body and then lands triumphantly. And that's when he gets his finger, shouts, runs and celebrates.
A scene reproduced in loop since jumping 6.17 meters in 2020, its first historical record. Since then it has established twelve more record, all just one centimeter more than the previous. The only one of the expression does not intend to subtract merits from Duplantis, but to emphasize that the height is only one more centimeter because its strategy marks it. It should be remembered that a centimeter in pole is already a good stretch. “It seems little, but it is a lot,” although it falls short to see his jumps.
It could cover more centimeters, but everything follows an order. Your records go centimeter in centimeter. A centimeter is enough to record as a new record and the athlete In question, receive the economic spoil that this entails. And try to reach a larger mark, which I could get, would lead to a more difficult record to overcome later and therefore Less records and less economic bonus.
Let's put the Tokyo World Cup next September as an example. If in the Japanese capital he jumps 6.30 meters would take $ 70,000 for being champion and others 100,000 euros for having broken the world record. Accumulates 13, eleven of them in the last two years and the five most recent in the last year. All this at 25 years. Duplantis competes against himself. He is already against him and his story.
