Pole Vault Phenom Duplantis Shatters World Record Again! 💃✨🏆
Duplantis breaks world record once more
Pole vault prodigy Armand "Mondo" Duplantis has done it again! At a meet in his hometown of Stockholm, he obliterated his world record for the 12th time!
The Swedish sensation soared to a staggering 6.28 meters on his first try! 😮 This incredible feat marks the 37th Diamond League win for the two-time Olympic champion, who had expressed a desire to achieve this milestone in front of his adoring fans.
"This is beyond incredible," Duplantis beamed after the jump, "I've always dreamed of breaking the world record in Stockholm, and today, that dream became a reality. It's a moment I'll never forget!"
Meanwhile, in the long jump, reigning Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo (LG Kurpfalz) came in fourth with a season-best leap of 6.75 meters. Tara Davis-Woodhall (USA) clinched the win with a mighty 7.05-meter jump[1][2]. Had Mihambo managed to surpass her personal best, she would have likely given Duplantis a run for his money in the record books!
Speaking of fast women, former 100-meter European champ Gina Lückenkemper suddenly sprinted a surprising 200 meters! Despite rarely running this distance, she clocked an impressive 22.76 seconds despite a robust tailwind[1][2]. Fascinatingly, it's her fastest time in six long years!
The 3000-meter steeplechase saw Karl Bebendorf from Dresden set a stunning new personal best of 8:11.81 minutes to secure the victory. The German Athletics Association (DLV) also belted out a win in the women's discus, thanks to Olympic silver medalist Kirstin Pudenz whose first throw sailed a remarkable 64.86 meters[1][2].
