Pole vault GOAT Armand Duplantis breaks world record again as two Aussies score Diamond League wins

Swedish pole vault superstar Armand "Mondo" Duplantis broke the men's world record for the 12th time at Monday's (AEST) Diamond League meet — and did so for the first time in front of his adoring home fans.

And Australia had two winners in Stockholm in Linden Hall and Nicola Olyslagers, who triumphed in the women's 3000 metres and women's high jump respectively, as well as another three who set foot on the podium: Kurtis Marschall, Matt Denny and Ky Robinson.

Olyslagers took down Ukrainian Yaroslava Mahuchikh, the reigning Olympic and world champion.

Duplantis broke the pole vault world record for the first time when he cleared 6.17 metres at an indoor meet in Poland in 2020, a year before winning his maiden Olympic gold medal in Tokyo.

The Swedish phenom has now added 12 centimetres to the 6.16m set by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie, the previous world record holder, in 2014.

Duplantis lifted the world record to 6.25m on the night he won Olympic gold in Paris last year and the 25-year-old has now set a new world record three times since that magical moment, in Poland, France and his home country.

Stockholm Olympic Stadium, which hosted the Games in 1912, reverberated with claps and cheers as Duplantis charged down the runway in his bid to clear 6.28m.

As he tumbled down from his soaring world-record jump, he and the crowd erupted.

"Mondo" whipped off his shirt and kissed his fiancée, Swedish influencer Desiré Inglander, who was watching on from the front row.

And some in the crowd were lucky enough to get a high five from the greatest male pole vaulter of all time.

He lobbed himself over the bar at 6.00m and didn't jump again until it was at 6.28m, which he cleared with his first attempt.

"I feel full to the brim right now," Duplantis said.

"I've got a lot of family here.

"The first time I jumped in this stadium, when I was 11 years old, it was rainy and cold, and I jumped right under four metres. It was quite high for how young I was.

"I'm just going to enjoy this, enjoy the moment right now. There's not much between me and 6.30m, technically. I'm just a perfect day away from it."

Second place, Australia's Marschall, recorded a top jump of 5.90m — a total of 38cm short of Duplantis' mark.

Dutchman Menno Vloon cleared 5.80m to wrap up third place.

Australia's Hall won the 3000m in 8:30.01, overtaking Sarah Chelangat of Uganda on the final bend and extending her lead on the home straight en route to registering a personal best.

Hall found herself trailing Chelengat and Kenya's Caroline Nyaga by a few yards with about a kilometre to go, but the triple Olympian gradually made up the ground, took the lead at the bell, and kicked away late.

The victory marked Hall's second Diamond League win of her career. The first, over 1500m in 2022, came in the same fabled Stockholm stadium.

"I ran a big 5km PB [personal best] recently so I was hoping that would translate into a good 3km," Hall said.

"I didn't feel too good in the early stages of the race but luckily, I came good at the end.

"I did a lot of the work mostly by myself in the last kilometre so it was really encouraging to get a five-second personal best."

Australia's Olyslagers claimed the high jump win with a top jump of 2.01m, two centimetres clear of Olympic champion Mahuchikh.

"It was the first time I've skipped so many heights. I skipped 1.97m to go to 1.99m, and it required me to be bold. I was a bit afraid in doing it but I had the faith to keep going," Olyslagers said.

"This victory has taught me a lot about myself and that the best is still to come. I got injured here last year and it took courage to come back."

Meanwhile, Denny picked up bronze in the men's discus as Robinson grabbed bronze in the men's 5000m.

Robinson clocked 12:58.38 to post the third-fastest 5000m time by an Australian in history.

Only Craig Mottram (12:55.76) and Stewart McSweyn (12:56.07) have gone quicker.
