Armand Duplantis sets the 13th world record at 6.29 meters
Armand "Mondo" Duplantis has set his 13th world record. The Swedish athlete cleared an impressive 6.29 meters in the pole vault at an international tournament held in Budapest, Hungary.
Duplantis faced early competition from Greece's Emmanouil Karalis, who jumped 6.11 meters. However, Duplantis ultimately raised the bar to 6.29 meters, clearing it on his second attempt.
"I had some really good Hungarian goulash two days ago. And you saw how well I jumped. I don't think that's a coincidence. I'm going to celebrate this record, and maybe I'll even have a beer," said Duplantis.
Armand Duplantis is widely considered the greatest pole vaulter of all time. His impressive list of achievements includes two Olympic gold medals, two World Championship golds, and three European Championship golds. He has also won three gold medals at the Indoor World Championships and one at the Indoor European Championships.
