The 24-year-old, who had already secured successive Olympic titles by clearing six metres, set an Olympic record of 6.10m on his next attempt.

He then improved his previous world record of 6.24m, set in April, by one centimetre on his third and final attempt, thrilling the crowd at the Stade de France.
