The men's pole vault at the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships took place on 20 March 2022.

Duplantis was an up and coming 18 year old, who has since won the 2020 Olympics and had set 4 world records in the event.

That jump also improved upon his own South American record set six years earlier.

After an agonizing 15 minute delay for the men's 4x400 relay, his second attempt also met with similar results.

His first legitimate attempt at the height got his hips well over the bar, but he brushed it on the way back down.
