Mondo Duplantis set a new World Record in pole vault by clearing 6.29 metres.

Sweden's Mondo Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record for the 13th time.

Duplantis cleared 6.29 metres at the Hungarian Grand Prix meeting in Budapest on Tuesday to set a fresh world-best mark.

Duplantis won gold medals in the 2020 and 2024 Olympics, besides striking gold in the 2022 and 2023 World Championships.

Duplantis broke his world record a 12th time only in June in Stockholm, and tonight he improved it by one centimetre.
