The Swedish Armand Duplantis broke the world record for jumping with the frying for the 14th time in his career, taking him to 6.30 meters and winning the third world title, after those from Eugene 2022 and Budapest 2023.
Mondo Duplantis, who was born and grew up in the American city of Lafayette, the state of Louisiana, but competes for Sweden, his mother's native country, won the 49th consecutive competition with the success in the Tokyo World Championships.
After securing his victory, the Greek Emmanouil Karalis missing at 6.20 m, he kept the audience in suspense for half an hour, during which the spectators watched him, waited and encouraged in trying to break the world record.
He jumped over the peak height, 6.30 meters, at the third and last attempt – the pole still jumped, but did not fall, and he jumped from the mattress and rushed into Karalis's arms, which finished in second place, to start the celebration.
Armand Duplantis: “To offer you this moment is simply amazing”
Duplantis receives $ 70,000 For victory, plus a bonus of $ 100,000 To establish the record at the World Championships.

The people from the Archiplin Stadium, who remained for the final, the last test that was still disputed, remain with a wonderful memory. “To give you this moment is simply amazing“, Duplantis said in an interview given on the stadium.
The 25 -year -old athlete shot down the world's record for the first time on February 8, 2020, jumping 6.17 meters And by detonating it from that position on the French Olympic champion in 2012, Renaud Lavillenie.
Since then, Duplantis has improved the record by one centimeter each time, which offered him more opportunities to win bonuses, such as the one obtained at this competition, following the example of Sergey Bubka from the 80-90s.
“What Mondo has full is what every jump with the roast is trying to realize“Said American Sam Kendricks, who finished fourth and is the last athlete, apart from Duplantis, who won a world title (in 2019).”It has detention, it has speed. Has a family who really support him and has a group of colleagues that push him to success“, He said after the completion of the sample, quoted by AP.

Duplantis shook hands and embraced all these trial colleagues after Karalis missed 6.20 meters, thus guaranteeing his victory. He turned to the edge of the track to consult with his coach, turned and sat down, then lifted, put magnesium on his hands and let the drama unfold.

Like a year ago, at the Paris Olympic Games, Duplantis missed the first two attempts, remaining one or nothing. After staying down for about five minutes, he got up, he reached, he reached a speed of over 35 kilometers per hour, then jumped over the highest height ever – enough space to fit a normal -sized truck.
“I believe in him“, Said his father, Greg, in an interview with the stadium.”I thought he would succeed in the last attempt. You have to believe“He assured.
Mondo will turn 26 in November and, for comparison, the great Bubka, the one who won six consecutive world titles in the 1980s and 1990s, was 31 years old when he broke the record for the 17th and last time, leaving him at 6.14 meters.
After Lavillennie overtakes once, Duplantis took over the series she extended to the World Cup-the first time she broke the record in Japan. How many more follows?
