Swedish pole vaulter improves his global mark at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial on Tuesday<\/p>\n

Mondo Duplantis set the 13th world record of his career with a 6.29m clearance at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial in Budapest on Tuesday (Aug 12).<\/p>\n

Returning to the scene of his 2023 World Championships triumph, the 25-year-old from Sweden was pushed by Emmanouil Karalis of Greece with both men clearing 6.02m on their first attempts at this World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting.<\/p>\n

Karalis bowed out after two misses at 6.11m, but Duplantis went clear at that height to add one centimetre to the Hungarian all-comers\u2019 record he set when winning the world title at the same stadium in 2023.<\/p>
