Rome, Aug. 12 (LaPresse) – And that makes 13. ‘Mondo’ Duplantis has once again broken his world record in pole vaulting, which he has held since 2020. At the Continental Tour Gold in Budapest, the Swedish Olympic champion jumped 6.29 meters, improving the world record in the discipline for the thirteenth time (seven outdoors and six indoors). Only Sergei Bubka has improved the world record more times in his career, with thirty-five (seventeen outdoors and eighteen indoors).
