Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis has set a new Pole Vaul world record for the 10th time.
The 24-year-old, double Olympic gold medalist cleared 6.26 metres with his second attempt at the Silesia Diamond League meeting on Sunday in Poland.
Duplantis broke the world record for the 10th time, beating the 6.25 metres he cleared when retaining his Olympic gold medal in Paris earlier this month, and this was the third time this year he had broken his own record.
Earlier, Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen shatter the long-standing 3,000 metres world record with a time of seven minutes 17.55 seconds to beat Kenya’s Daniel Komen record of 7:20.67 set in 1996
Ingebrigtsen received a cheque for $50,000 and posed with it in front of the clock.
