Thanks to Warholm for the record?
On August 25th, the next stage of the Diamond League took place in Poland. There was a lot on the programme, but we had to start with the most delicious!
Armand Duplantis set another world record in pole vault. This time the Swede conquered a height of 6.26 m. On the second attempt, and without any major problems, as for example in Paris, he rewrote history. And then he collapsed on the track in the pose of a champion. For such a person, the synonym “king” is no longer suitable. We need to come up with something new!

His Olympic form has not disappeared and Mondo himself is excited about the upcoming meeting with Karsten Warholm in the 100 metres.
“Probably the thing that motivated me the most was the upcoming meeting with Karsten Warholm. This means that I need to concentrate more on this duel. I can relax and feel a bit more comfortable with pole vaulting,” the Swede joked.
Another world record for Duplantis is not the limit!
It is known how high Duplantis can reach in the future. The potential record is impressive.
Ingebrigtsen merciless
Jacob Ingebrigtsen is also delighted by the new achievement in human history. The Norwegian did not easily cope with his rivals in the 3,000m race, but he also shamelessly relegated Daniel Komen’s record to history.
The Kenyan’s achievement lasted 28 years and was updated in more than three seconds! 7.20.67 versus 7.17.55 which existed a long time ago.
Jacob really wanted this. The heat in Silesia didn’t help either.
“The pace seemed very fast, but then I found a good rhythm. 3000m is a difficult distance. Today the conditions were difficult because of the heat, but they were the same for everyone. Now I want to break world records at all distances step by step,” she told World Athletics.
In Paris, Ingebrigtsen gave her rivals a gift:
A deafening sensation at the Olympic Games: the invincible Ingebrigtsen is left without a medal!
A little joy from Tamberi
Italian Gianmarco Tamberi, who lost at the Paris Olympics, played in the 12th round of the Diamond League. In Poland he cleared 2.31 m and won. Romaine Beckford (Jamaica) and Oleg Doroshchuk (Ukraine) have only 2.29 m. But in terms of attempts, Beckford came second.
By the way, the new Olympic champion Hamish Kerr failed miserably in Silesia. He tried 2.18 and nothing more. He is ninth.
The next wins came from Femke Bol and Letsil Tebogo.
The Dutch runner ran the 400m hurdles in 52.13. Behind her were American Anna Cockrell (52.88) and Jamaican athlete Rushell Clayton (53.11). And the Botswana won the 200m with a result of 19.83. Alexander Ogando from the Dominican Republic lost three hundredths of a second to him and the bronze went to American Kenneth Bednarek. He has exactly 20.00.
