Duplantis breaks world pole vault record for second time in a week Sweden's Armand Duplantis sets a world pole vault record of 6.18 metres at an indoor meeting in Glasgow, adding one centimetre to the record he set in Poland last week. Duplantis, who won silver at last year's world championships in Doha, cleared the bar with something to spare and won a world record bonus cheque for $30,000. The old record of 6.16m set by French vaulter Renaud Lavillenie had stood since 2014 until Duplantis broke it last Saturday in Torun, Poland. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
