Sweden's Armand Duplantis Claims World Pole Vault Title With New World Record
Sweden's Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis completed his medal collection as he dominated the pole vault for world gold in a new world record on Sunday. Olympic champion Duplantis, seeking an elusive first world title, triumphed with a best of 6.21 metres, bettering by 1cm his previous best set when winning gold at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade in March. American Chris Nilsen took silver with a bet of 5.94m on countback from Ernest Obiang, whose bronze was a first world medal of any colour for the Philippines.
