Pole vaulter Armand Duplantis has set a new meeting record on his return from a winter break by jumping 6.10 meters at the ISTAF Indoor meet in Berlin. The Swedish star attempted to beat his own world outdoor record set in Chorzów, Poland last August with two attempts at 6.27. But it was a step too far this time for the 25-year-old who broke the outdoor record three times last year. Duplantis needed two attempts to clear 6.10, putting it down to “rust” in his first competition since September. It’s the best indoor mark this year.
