BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Olympic champion Armand Mondo Duplantis broke his world record in pole vault again, breaking the 6.20 meter mark at the indoor world championship on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Swede had promised “something higher” at the event and set a new mark on his third and final attempt. He had already secured his first world championship by achieving 6.05.

Duplantis surpassed 6.19 meters on March 7 at the Belgrade athletic match at the same Stark Arena, extending his record of 6.18 which was set in February 2020 in Glasgow.

In addition, Venezuelan Yulimar Rojas broke her world record in triple jump by registering 15.74 meters.
