  2. Duplantis breaks pole vault world record for 13th time

    Armand Duplantis broke the men's pole vault world record for a 13th time - and third this year - with a clearance of 6.29m at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

    The 25-year-old double Olympic and world champion continued his tradition of improving on his previous record by one centimetre in Budapest, having cleared 6.28m at the Stockholm Diamond League meeting in June.

    Duplantis first broke the world record, then held by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie for six years, in February 2020 with a 6.17m clearance in Poland.

    Athletes receive bonuses of up to $100,000 (£74,000), in addition to competition awards, for breaking world records at designated Worlds Athletics meetings.

    Duplantis missed his first attempt at 6.11m, with Greece's Emmanouil Karalis retiring after failing twice at the same height. The Swede then had the bar raised to try for a new record, which he successfully completed, despite rattling the bar slightly on his second effort.

    Looking ahead to Tokyo in September, he will seek to become only the second man, after Sergey Bubka, to win three successive world outdoor pole vault titles when he competes.
