Mondo Duplantis, the reigning champion of the pole vault, broke the world record for the tenth time after reaching a height of 6.26 meters during the Silesia Diamond League competition that took place in Poland on Sunday (August 25).
The world mark that Duplantis had previously established in Paris 2024 was improved by one centimeter, allowing him to win his second consecutive Olympic medal.
The two-time Olympic champion maintained his winning streak of more than a year with a magnificent performance while he was competing in the Olympics.
Prior to requesting that the height requirement be increased to 6.26 meters, Duplantis won the competition at a height of 6.00 meters. His first try was unsuccessful, but he did not make any mistakes on his second attempt, which caused the crowd to go into a frenzy.
The 24-year-old athlete began the evening with a height of 5.62 meters, as well as heights of 5.72 meters and 5.82 meters. Upon his return, Duplantis maintained his perfect performance at 5.92 meters and 6.00 meters, so securing the victory and extending his winning run.
Since he finished fourth in the Monaco Diamond League in July 2023, the outstanding Swede has not had a loss in his career.
Sam Kendricks, a former world champion, reached the enchanted height of six meters for the first time since the year 2020, joining Duplantis there in Silesia. Duplantis was not the only one to join the six-meter club.
At the Paris Olympics, Kendricks, who ended in second place behind Duplantis, passed 6.00 meters on his second attempt to claim the title of runner-up. Previously, he had failed to cross 6.08 meters.
Emmanouil Karalis of Greece, who won the bronze medal at the Paris 2024 competition, also reached 6.00 meters, but she had to settle for third place after two attempts.
