Two weeks after winning Olympic gold at Paris 2024 with a record 2.25 meters, Mondo Duplantis extended his record by another centimeter to Silesian Diamond League. The Swedish pole vaulter cleared the bar at 6.26 meters, a new record, another for a big athlete who left a best mark of more than 10 centimeters. Sergey Bubka (6.15m). This record arrived an hour later Jakob Ingebrigtsen He would reach the 3,000 meter record at 7’17″55 on the same track.

In his first test of the season, at the Diamond League in Xiamen (China), he raised the bar to 6.24m, a warning of what was to come. In Paris, in a Stade de France packed with more than 70,000 spectators, he added to his second Olympic gold with another record at 6.25m, rising centimeter by centimeter as Bubka did in his time. And when the season seemed to be coming to an end for most athletes, Duplantis gave the crowd in Chorzow (Poland) another stellar record of over 6.26m, showing that there are no limits for him.
