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. 🏅
