Armand Duplantis broke the pole vault world record for the 15th time at the meet in Uppsala, Sweden, clearing 6.31 meters on his first attempt.
The 26-year-old Swede broke the record he has owned since clearing 6.17m in 2020.
Duplantis only took four vaults at the indoor event in his adopted home town.
He cleared 5.65m, 5.90m and then 6.08m, all on his first attempts, before asking for the bar to be lifted 23cm to a world-record height.
He immediately soared over to end his evening's work.
Duplantis will have a chance to increase his brand new world record at the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland, at the end of March.
