Baton Rouge, LA. – Mondo Duplantis opened his 2020 campaign up with a win on the World Athletics Indoor Tour in Dusseldorf, Germany on Tuesday. Mondo won the event with a personal best indoor clearance of 6.00 meters (19' 8.25") to become the youngest man in world history to clear 6.00 meters indoors. Mondo also took three attempts at what would have been a world record height of 6.17 meters (20' 2.75"), but was unable to clear that bar.
"It almost brought a tear to my eye 'cause you're looking at it and you think this is it, this is the world record," Duplantis said in an interview with World Athletics after the meet.
