And we have seen he clearly in many cases clears the bar by quite a margin so maybe it is possible with some time, who knows?

I get it. There's no track and field events now where anyone can break anything. But it's not cataclysmic in any way when nothing happens other than you finding a way to perceive something that makes it seem more incredible than it was before. That in itself is not news.

    What you’re saying about him having jumped 6.3m by now if he wasn’t doing the 1cm increase each jump is a bit inaccurate. If you’ve heard him talk, the highest he’s jumped in training is like 6.1m. The reason why he’s gotten to jump so high is because of the adrenaline of the day and just how well he responds to jumping in front of audience.
    Like he’s essentially jumping a cm at a time because of the incentives but also because if he misses, he can just go back to the same height without many doubts about his ability.
    If he did attempt a very high jump and fail(not the typical 1cm increment), he’d probably second guess a lot and be unsure of how much he needs to pull back if at all.
    The 1cm increase has monetary benefits for when he breaks it but it’s also just a good target to set for yourself because you’re not sure you can go the whole distance all the time.

      @ i feel like you misunderstood my comment. I’m not downplaying on his impressiveness in even the slightlest. I’m just saying that the fact that people think he’d have jumped a lot higher by now is a misconception. In reality for instance, Mondo knows in his head that he can get to 6.27 with high certainty but as of now he’s less certain about 6.3. My point is that as humans, we’re more geared towards incremental improvements rather than an all at once big jump improvement. Since if we fail at the bigger increments, it messes with our confidence as compared to much smaller increments.

      This event literally incetivizes you to not produce your BEST, but 1 cm more than your previous BEST.
      The ideea is that maybe Duplantis can jump 6.35 NOW, but maybe by the time he will push the WR at 6.31 , 6.32 he might not be able to jump 6.35m anymore. It was measured he was over 6.3m already a couple of times, but the WR was registered for where the bar was set.
      These competitions should incetivize athletes to give their best at their peak.
      Take Usain Bolt for example. I'm sure he could have run under 9.5s in Beijing, but he held back. Which is OK. He broke his own record again in Berlin next year. I'm sure he tried again next years, but he couldn't get the peak he had in Beijing. As far as I am concerned even though Usain Bolt has WR in Berlin, he actually had his peak in 2008.
      I would love to see Duplantis jump as much as he can, but because he doesn't get anything for breaking the WR by 5-6 cm, I'm afraid we won't.

If there was a 1985 and 1989 world championships (it was hosted every fourth year back in the day, before switching to every second year), Bubka would've likely won those too, making him an 8 time (!) world champion.

Faith Kipyegon on the other hand not only has elite level range from the 800m to the 5K (possibly 10K & Marathon too eventually), but has broken the 1500m, Mile & 5K WRs winning 10 WC/OLY Medals in the process (7 Golds & 3 Silvers).

      Comparing events is always going to be flawed. Some events barely change at all, for instance throwing events like discus/hammer or shot put. Meanwhile running tracks and shoes are under constant development and get better/faster with every season. How can you ever compare those events and their records?

    "you see in pole vaulting to win a single competition you only need to jump higher than the other athletes"
    So it works exactly like in every other track and field discipline? In fact like in every other sport in the world???

    this point system is useless, and no one fully understands it. I wish people would stop paying attention to it and all the crazy conclusions drawn from it.
