Armand Duplantis set his eighth world record in the pole vault as he cleared 6.24m at the opening Diamond League event of the season in Xiamen, China.
The Swede has pushed the event to new heights over the past four years, hoovering up every major title including Olympic gold in Tokyo and two world crowns.
After wrapping up the latest victory in a remarkable career, the 24-year-old raised the bar from 6.00m to 6.24m and duly cleared it at the first attempt.
It was even more impressive given his struggles at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow when he twice failed at 5.85m before dialling back in to win gold with 6.05m.
American Sam Kendricks, a two-time world champion who has found himself playing bridesmaid to Duplantis in recent times, took second in 5.82m.
Duplantis has edged the world record higher, one centimetre at a time, from 6.17m to 6.24m, following a similar path to Ukrainian legend Sergey Bubka, who broke the record an astonishing 35 times between 1984 and 1994.
