Duplantis Wins Budapest Pole Vault, Misses World Record Bid
World Athletics Continental Tour Gold: Olympic champion and world record holder Armand Duplantis won the men's pole vault at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial, the last World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting of 2026, clearing 6.07 metres before narrowly missing a world record attempt at 6.32 metres.
Six men were still vaulting with the bar at 6.00 m, three of them – Kurtis Marschall, Emmanouil Karalis and Sondre Guttormsen – having cleared 5.90 m.
Duplantis failed his first attempt at 6.00 m, before Marschall became the first to clear it, doing so for the first time outdoors after twice achieving the height indoors. It was also the 300th six-metre vault in history.
