Not in a mental way, not in that way, but very tired mentally, just exhausted, even this morning.” Only the US-born Swede and American Sam Kendricks, the silver medallist in Paris, managed to pass at 5.92m, the next four all seeing their evening’s work come to a halt at 5.82.The American won 2019 world gold ahead of Duplantis, since when the Swede has dominated the discipline in a manner rarely seen in track and field.The bar went up to 6.15m, to rapturous applause from the crowd massed around the runway.
