Overview
- Armand Duplantis secured gold with a first‑attempt clearance at 6.25 meters, then ended his night without chasing another world record.
- Emmanouil Karalis pressed him into frequent jumps during a tactical duel, prompting Duplantis to conserve energy rather than raise the bar.
- Karalis took silver at 6.05 meters, and Australia’s Kurtis Marschall earned bronze with 6.00 meters.
- Duplantis entered Toruń soon after lifting his own indoor world record to 6.31 meters in Uppsala and extended a 44‑meet unbeaten run.
