Armand Duplantis Breaks His Pole Vault World Record For Record-Extending 13th Time
Last Updated: Sweden's Duplantis broke the world record for the 13th time as he soared over the bar at the second attempt to improve on his 6.28m from Stockholm in June. Sweden's Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis improved his pole vault world record by one centimetre on Tuesday (August 12), clearing 6.29 metres at the athletics meet in Budapest. Sweden's Duplantis broke the world record for the 13th time, soaring over the bar on his second attempt to surpass his 6.28m from Stockholm in June. It was the 25-year-old's third record of 2023, having also cleared 6.27m in Clermont-Ferrand in February. Duplantis notched up his 33rd competition victory, clearing 6.11m on his first attempt, finishing ahead of Greece's Emmanouil Karalis (6.02m) and Australia's Kurtis Marschall (5.83m). On his second attempt at 6.29m, Duplantis touched the bar with one leg and his stomach, but it held, and the jump was validated. Since Ukrainian Sergey Bubka became the first athlete to clear 6 metres on July 13, 1985, in Paris, the world record has been broken 26 times, including 12 times by Bubka, 13 times by Duplantis, and once by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie. The US-born Duplantis first broke the world record in 2020 with 6.17m. Olympic 100 metres silver and bronze medallist Fred Kerley has been provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit for whereabouts failures, the organisation said on Tuesday. American Kerley, the 100m world champion in 2022, plans to contest the allegation that he violated anti-doping rules. 'He strongly believes that one or more of his alleged missed tests should be set aside either because he was not negligent or because the Doping Control Officer did not do what was reasonable under the circumstances to locate him at his designated location," an attorney for Kerley said in a statement posted on his X account. He withdrew from the U.S. track and field trials late last month, writing on social media that he was: 'Taking some time out to get back on track." 'The 100m should be a straight sprint. 2025 has presented many hurdles," he wrote on X. 'Thanks to all my supporters." He last competed a month ago at the Grand Sprint Series in Norwalk, California.

Meredith Gaudreau and Madeline Gaudreau launch John Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau foundation on ‘Good Morning America'
Meredith and Madeline launch John Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau foundation on 'Good Morning America' (Image Via Getty) The two widows, Meredith Gaudreau and Madeline Gaudreau, appeared on ABC's 'Good Morning America" to announce the John and Matthew Gaudreau Foundation, a charity supporting youth hockey programs and families damaged by drunk driving, on what would have been Johnny Gaudreau's 32nd birthday. The cause is very personal, honoring two brothers whose kindness, passion, and impact went far beyond just skating on the ice. Honoring the legacy of John Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau Widows of Johnny Gaudreau and brother Matthew open up about tragic loss Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau died on August 29, 2024, when an alleged drunk driver ran them over while they were out cycling in New Jersey. The tragedy happened a day prior to their sister's wedding. Johnny had spent eight seasons with the Flames of Calgary before going to the Columbus Blue Jackets, while Matthew was about to start his first season as assistant coach for the Philadelphia Rebels. Meredith related, 'He kissed all of us goodbye—just in the driveway at his parents' house, and that was the last time I saw him.' A foundation born from love and community support Meredith gave the reasoning behind the formation of the foundation: "We kind of spent the whole year really trying to take our time, do things right, and we've already been able to accept a lot of donations… so we wanted to make sure we took our time." The charity mainly focuses on youth hockey associations, helping families facing tragedy, and supporting victims of drunk driving. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Undo Meredith recalled, "John would always say he wouldn't have been able to have a lot of the resources he had if his dad wasn't his (hockey) coach." The colors of the foundation — black for Johnny's favorite and bright green for Matthew — signify their personalities and bond. Carrying their spirit forward Meredith, co-president with Madeline, reflected on the support that came from all over the world. "It's crazy just to see John's impact has pretty much reached worldwide," she said, touched by such kindness as friends asking wedding guests to donate instead of giving gifts. The John and Matthew Gaudreau Foundation is more than just a memorial; it is a continuation of the generosity of the two brothers and will inspire generations on and off the ice.
