When the stadium is still full hours after the scheduled end of a Diamond League meeting, you know someone special is in the house.
On Sunday evening, fans in Stockholm were glued to their seats as Swedish pole vault superstar Mondo Duplantis took another major step towards a third successive Wanda Diamond League title.
Local hero Duplantis had said before the meeting that competing at the Bauhaus Galan was "almost like a championship" for him, and he delivered a championship-worthy performance in tough conditions in Stockholm.
His final mark of 6.05m may not have been the highest he has ever jumped, but the way he got there - and almost went even further - made it a performance worthy of the OMEGA Moment of the Meeting.
After torrential rain delayed the start of the competition in Stockholm, it looked for a while as if the headline act may not even make it out onto the runway at Bauhaus Galan. Even as the skies cleared and the pole vault finally got underway, the cold and wet ground made it a difficult night for the world's best athletes.
The delayed start also meant that the pole vault had barely got going when the rest of the action finished around 21:00, but the crowd were in no mood to go home as Duplantis eased through the gears.
While his rivals toiled around him, the 23-year-old cruised to 6.05m in just four jumps, skipping every other height and not missing a beat on his way to what would once have been a scarcely believable result in such conditions.
But nothing seems impossible for Duplantis, who even attempted a world record of 6.23m to reward the crowd for their loyalty. In the end, it was too much to ask even of him, with the Swede running through his first two attempts before hitting the bar with his final jump.
Yet it was a performance which will only endear him more to the Swedish fans and puts him a step closer to the Wanda Diamond League Final in Eugene on September 16-17th. Duplantis now has two wins in two this season, and can wrap up qualification with a third victory in Silesia later this month.
