The 23-year-old world and Olympic champion is bidding to claim a sixth successive title.
Sweden’s Armand Duplantis had three successful vaults at 5.55m, 5.70m, and 5.75m to progress to the final at the World Athletics Championships.
“In the final and record-wise, everything is possible. It is up to me to go out there and put the right jump together at the right time.” His last defeat at a major championship was when he was 19, finishing runner-up to American Sam Kendricks at the 2019 world championships in Doha.
