Athletics phenomenon Mondo Duplantis has set yet another world record - the 13th of his career.

The Swedish pole vaulter added another centimetre to his all-time record, with his new height at 6.29m.

He achieved the feat - his third world record of 2025 - at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial in Hungary's capital Budapest.

There Duplantis will defend his world title, while he’s also the reigning Olympic champion, taking back-to-back gold medals at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024.
