Swedish pole vaulter Armand Duplantis won the men's competition at the inaugural Ultimate Championship in Budapest. At the National Athletics Centre, he cleared the bar at a height of 6.20 meters and confirmed his dominance in the discipline. BBC News ↗
Duplantis completed all of his attempts without a miss. He then made three attempts to break his own world record, but was not successful this time. His current best stands at 6.31 meters. In Budapest, the Swede once again defeated Greek pole vaulter Emmanouil Karalis. sport.sk ↗
The new competition is part of a format aiming to present athletics in a more compact and striking form. Organizers prepared new trophies, an unconventional stadium design, and a total prize purse of ten million dollars. The winners of each discipline receive the title of the event's first champions.
Duplantis is among the biggest stars in athletics today, and in recent years has repeatedly pushed the boundaries of the world record. The competition in Budapest was thus another opportunity for him to try to surpass his own best in front of an audience in the new format. El Pais ↗
The inaugural Ultimate Championship continues with further disciplines. On the opening day, German Merlin Hummel won the hammer throw, and Italian Larissa Iapichino dominated the women's long jump. Instead of traditional medals, the entire event features a single shared trophy and substantial cash prizes. Tagesspiegel ↗
