Armand Duplantis and Jakob Ingebrigtsen thrilled spectators as they set world records at the Silesia Diamond League meeting on Sunday.

Duplantis celebrated in his usual exuberant style as he set a new mark of 6.26 metres in the pole vault, less than three weeks after he last broke it when defending his Olympic title in Paris.

The 24-year-old Swede was congratulated by Polish President Andrzej Duda, who came onto the track and shook his hand.  "Everything just came together to allow me to do this," said Duplantis, whose first world record also came in Poland in February, 2020. "I know a lot of people came here to see me jump, so I wanted to put in a good showing for them. "This year I focused on the Olympics, the record just came naturally because I was in good shape. "So I am not surprised with the record today, but I am thankful."

The 23-year-old Norwegian smashed Kenyan Daniel Komen's 28-year-old mark by more than three seconds.  "It feels special, amazing," said Ingebrigtsen. "I was hoping to challenge the world record here, but based on my training, I can never predict exactly what kind of time I am capable of. "I would not have imagined I could run 7:17, though."
