Mondo Duplantis creates World Record for 13th time, clears 6.29m in Budapest
Sweden pole vaulter Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis cleared a height of 6.29m at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial in Budapest on Tuesday to break the World Record for the 13th time.
His previous best — at 6.28m — came at the Stockholm Diamond League in June this year. It was the Duplantis’ third record of 2025, having also cleared 6.27m in Clermont-Ferrand in February.
The 25-year-old had won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 by clearing a record 6.25m. He has bettered the World Record four times since.
In men’s pole vault at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial on Tuesday, Greece’s Emmanoiul Karalis secured the second place with a best of 6.02m. Australia’s Kurtis Marschall claimed third place with 5.82m.
