History-maker Armand Duplantis soared to his 14th world record with his final attempt as the Swedish superstar continued his pole vault domination by winning a third consecutive world title.
The 25-year-old has now claimed the past eight global men’s pole vault gold medals on offer across both indoor and outdoor competitions following this triumph in the Japanese capital.
The two-time Olympic champion sealed gold with a first-time clearance at 6.15m to end Emmanouil Karalis’ admirable challenge then raised the bar to one centimetre higher than he had ever gone before.
A fourth world record of 2025 by Duplantis is the most occasions he has improved the mark in a single year in his career, which seemingly continues with no limit in sight.
