Overview

• Duplantis vaulted 6.29 meters at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial in Budapest on August 12, improving his previous mark by one centimeter.
• The 25-year-old Olympic and world champion grazed the bar with his leg and stomach on his second attempt, but the jump held and was validated.
• This achievement marks his third world record of 2025 after clearing 6.27m in Clermont-Ferrand and 6.28m in Stockholm.
• His win in Budapest was his 33rd career victory, with Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis and Australia’s Kurtis Marschall finishing second and third.
• The series of incremental record gains has reinforced Duplantis’s dominance and positioned him as the clear favorite for next month’s World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.
