Duplantis Extends Pole Vault World Record in Budapest

A Record-Breaking Performance

Armand Duplantis of Sweden soared to a new pole vault world record of 6.29 metres at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial meet in Budapest on Tuesday. The Olympic and world champion surpassed his previous mark by one centimetre, achieving the milestone on his second attempt.

Historic Career Milestone

This latest achievement marks the 13th time the 25-year-old has set a pole vault world record, and his third in the 2025 season alone. Duplantis first broke the record in 2020 and has continued to push the boundaries of the sport, consistently redefining what is possible in pole vaulting.

A Special Connection to Sweden

Born in Louisiana, Duplantis represents Sweden, his mother’s homeland. His latest record follows a string of dominant performances, including his gold medal win in Budapest at the 2023 World Championships, where he cleared 6.10 metres.

How the Event Unfolded

At the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meet, Duplantis first cleared 6.11 metres on his second attempt. Encouraged by the crowd, he then targeted the world record height and succeeded—again on his second try—sending the stadium into celebration.

Why Budapest Matters

Budapest has become a significant venue for Duplantis’s career. After retaining his world title there in 2023, his return to the Hungarian capital brought another historic moment. “I love the crowd, I want to come back,” Duplantis said following the event.

What’s Next

Duplantis’s focus now shifts to the upcoming Diamond League meets, where he will aim to maintain his dominance and possibly push the record even higher before the season concludes.

Danielle Dorris Claims 3rd World Record in 3 Days

Record-breaking performance in Sherbrooke

Danielle Dorris, a 22-year-old Para swimmer from Moncton, N.B., captured her third world record in as many days on Saturday at the Canadian short-course championships in Sherbrooke, Quebec. She clocked 1:22.57 in the SM7 100-metre individual medley, surpassing the previous mark of 1:23.07 set by New Zealand’s Nikita Howarth in 2020.

Morning success sets the stage

Earlier in the day, Dorris had already set the Americas record in the preliminaries with a time of 1:23.50. The improvement in the evening final showcased her competitive edge and consistency in a high-pressure environment.

Consistent excellence in multiple events

This victory follows two other record-breaking swims: on Thursday, she shattered the S7 50m butterfly world record twice in the same day, and on Friday, she set a new S7 50m backstroke record with a time of 35.20. Known for her dominance in the 50m butterfly, Dorris already holds the long-course world record in that event, achieved at the Tokyo 2021 Paralympic Games.

Building momentum ahead of global competition

Speaking after her race, Dorris admitted the latest achievement came as a surprise. “I didn’t know exactly what the previous record was, so breaking it was an unexpected boost,” she said. The performance adds confidence ahead of next month’s World Para Swimming Championships in Singapore, set for September 21–27.

From youngest Paralympian to world leader

Born with bilateral radial dysplasia, a condition that led to underdeveloped arms, Dorris made her Paralympic debut at just 13 years old in Rio 2016, becoming Canada’s youngest Paralympic swimmer. She now boasts three Paralympic medals and six world championship medals, cementing her place among Canada’s most accomplished athletes.

Final challenge in Sherbrooke

Dorris will conclude her campaign at the Sherbrooke championships on Sunday in the 50m freestyle, aiming to cap an already historic week with yet another medal-worthy performance.
