EUGENE—World and Olympic pole vault champion Armand Duplantis improved his world record with a leap of 6.23m at the Diamond
Swedish superstar Duplantis added a centimeter to the world record of 6.22m he recorded in France in February.
“I’m two for two right now on world records coming here to Hayward,” Duplantis said. It has absolutely everything. It has the history, it has the modern touch. The track is really fast, the crowd and energy is fantastic.” “The limit is very high, and I hope that I can continue to jump well and keep jumping higher than I did today.”The reigning 10,000m world champion carved almost five seconds off the previous 5,000m record of 14:05.20, set by Kenyan Faith Kipyegon in Paris on June 9.“My focus today was the world record,” said Tsegay, who won the 2022 5,000m world title in Eugene and was disappointed with a 13th place finish in that event in Budapest that left her “very hungry in my mind.
“The end of the season,” Jackson said. “I’m healthy and I ran some fast times, so I’m definitely grateful.” Emmanuel Wanyonyi clocked a world-leading 1min 42.80sec to edge Marco Arop—the man who beat him to World Championships gold last month—in the 800m.
