Overview

• He extended his world record to 6.29m, marking his third one-centimetre improvement of 2025 after previous leaps of 6.27m in Clermont-Ferrand and 6.28m in Stockholm.
• On his second attempt at 6.29m he contacted the bar with his leg and stomach, yet the crosspiece stayed on its pegs and the jump was validated.
• He claimed victory in Budapest by clearing 6.11m on his first attempt, finishing ahead of Emmanouil Karalis and Kurtis Marschall.
• The result extended his winning streak to 33 competitions since July 2021, including three straight wins at six metres or higher in Ostrava, Eugene and Monaco.
• With his current form and record-breaking trend, he is widely regarded as the frontrunner for a third consecutive outdoor title at the World Championships in Tokyo this September.
