The men's pole vault final is destined to be the stage for Sweden's Duplantis, who defended his title by jumping over 6 meters and easily breaking the Olympic record with 6.10 meters in his fifth jump. He then opted for 6.25m to set a new world record, but failed to jump over the bar on his first two attempts. For the third time, to the rhythmic applause and earth-shattering shouts of the crowd, Duplantis leapt past to win the gold medal and break the world record he had just set at the Diamond League in Xiamen in April.
United States' Kendricks finished second with 5.95m, while Greece's Karalis won third. It is worth mentioning that Huang Bokai, a player of the Chinese team, had no stage fright among the masters, successfully jumped 5.80 meters, set a personal best and finished seventh.
