Swedish pole vaulter records improves his global mark at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial on Tuesday
Mondo Duplantis set the 13th world record of his career with a 6.29m clearance at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial in Budapest on Tuesday (Aug 12).
Returning to the scene of his 2023 World Championships triumph, the 25-year-old from Sweden was pushed by Emmanouil Karalis of Greece with both men clearing 6.02m on their first attempts at this World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting.
Karalis bowed out after two misses at 6.11m, but Duplantis went clear at that height to add one centimetre to the Hungarian all-comers’ record he set when winning the world title at the same stadium in 2023.
He then moved the bar to 6.29m – a one centimetre increase on the world record height he cleared in Stockholm in June – and cleared it at his second attempt.
