Sweden’s pole vault king Mondo Duplantis has done it again! 🌟 The 25-year-old superstar shattered his own world record with a gravity-defying 6.29-meter leap at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial in Budapest on Tuesday – his 13th time rewriting history in this electrifying sport.
After a nail-biting start where he missed his first attempt at 6.11 meters, the double Olympic champion channeled his signature focus. With the crowd holding its breath 🤯, Duplantis cleared the bar on his second try at the new world-record height – celebrating with an iconic look of disbelief as the stadium erupted.
🏟️ The victory was extra sweet at Budapest’s National Athletics Center, where he won his second world title last year. The Louisiana-born Swede immediately sprinted to hug his partner Desire Inglander and family, proving even superheroes need their squad 🦸♂️💞.
Since first breaking the world record in 2020, Duplantis has turned pole vaulting into his personal playground. Next stop? The Silesia Diamond League this Saturday – where he’s already planning to #DefyGravity again. 🚨
