Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Sweden’s Armand \"Mondo\" Duplantis rewrote the record books at Sunday’s Silesia Diamond League meet, delivering jaw-dropping performances that electrified the athletics world.
Ingebrigtsen, 23, obliterated the men’s 3,000m world record—unchanged since 1996—with a blistering 7:17.55 finish, leaving Kenya’s Daniel Komen’s 7:20.67 in the dust. \"I wouldn’t have imagined 7:17,\" said the stunned Norwegian, who celebrated by clutching a $50,000 prize check. Meanwhile, Duplantis soared to a 6.26m pole vault clearance, breaking his *own* world record yet again.
The heat couldn’t slow Ingebrigtsen, who earlier outran Paris Olympic 1,500m champ Cole Hocker in Lausanne. Ethiopia’s Berihu Aregawi chased him Sunday with a historic PB (7:21.28), proving this race was pure fire.
\"The 3,000 is brutal—you feel the burn, but you push through,\" Ingebrigtsen admitted. With Paris 2024 looming, these two phenoms just raised the bar—literally and figuratively.
