Very curious about what Duplantis clears in training - given how consistently he pushes the record up I reckon he's clearing quite a bit higher in training but obviously trying to maximise payouts for new world records.

It's the Sergey Bubka method - he pushed it the world record up from 5.94 to 6.14 over the course of a decade, the last 10cm at a cm a time. If there is a financial reward for a record, why go for your maximum.
