No limits as vaulting Duplantis becomes a flying attraction

For the record, that was not an Unidentified Flying Object you saw on the weekend. It was only Armand Duplantis exploring his version of the final frontiers of space. With a pole, one might say, this vaulter is simply magnetic.

In Tokyo last year, after he won Olympic gold, I met this fellow who is part-Swedish, part-American and part-astronaut. Then he held the pole vault world record of 6.18m and said: "I definitely want to get into the 6.20s. That sounds really cool."
