'It is super special," Duplantis breaks another world record in Tokyo
Mondo Duplantis lit up the third night of the Tokyo world championships when he broke the pole vault world record for the 14th time with a jump of 6.30 meters after securing a third straight world title on Monday, September 15.
The gold medal was already in the bagand all the other events finished when the American-born Swede had the bar raised a centimeter higher than the record height of 6.29m he managed in Budapest last month.
He failed by the narrowest of margins at his first two attempts but, roared on by a packed house at the National Stadium, slid over on the third with the bar giving a slight wobble before settling.
The stadium exploded as the 25-year-old raced over to celebrate with his family in the crowd before being mobbed by his delighted rivals.
