With Mondo Duplantis everything is a ‘show’
The Swede, who is winning his fourth continental title at the Europeans, has made the pole vault the queen of his specialties.
The pole vault event at the athletics championships has delivered an electrifying spectacle. Mondo Duplantis and his rival, Greek athlete Emmanuíl Karalís, engaged in a fierce duel, pushing each other to new heights. Duplantis ultimately set a new championship record of 6.20m, after clearing several heights with ease, including 6.10m and 6.15m on his first attempt. Karalís was unable to match Duplantis' performance, failing to clear 6.10m and eventually 6.20m.
