Competition Highlights
During the event, Greek vaulter Emmanouil Karalis was the only fellow competitor posing a challenge to Duplantis. However, Karalis was unable to clear 5.92 meters after three attempts, allowing Duplantis to push his limits. He first tried to surpass his own meeting record of 6.02 meters and attempted a height of 6.03 meters three times before finally succeeding at 6.15 meters on his second attempt, falling short of his world record.
Lavillenie's Continued Resilience
Meanwhile, the veteran pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie, nearing 39 years old, performed admirably in Oslo, earning fourth place with a jump of 5.72 meters. Following a challenging series of attempts, he cleared this height on his third try. Lavillenie opted not to attempt further jumps after reaching this height, aiming to manage his energy effectively.
