Unstoppable Armand Duplantis Breaks Pole Vault World Record Again, Gudaf Tsegay Shatters Women's 5000m Race in Jaw-Dropping Performance

Armand Duplantis achieved a remarkable feat at the Diamond League Final on Sunday by breaking the pole vault world record once again. After successfully clearing a height of 6.23 meters, marking the seventh time in his career that he has surpassed the previous record, Duplantis jubilantly leaped off the landing mat and ecstatically ran towards the stands, vigorously pumping his arms in the air.

The season-ending meet in Eugene, Oregon on Sunday witnessed the setting of two world records. Gudaf Tsegay from Ethiopia also accomplished a remarkable feat by breaking the women's 5,000-meter record, completing it in just 14 minutes and 0.21 seconds.

In another thrilling performance, Armand Duplantis from Sweden cleared the height of 6.23m with ease, surpassing his previous record set in France earlier this year by a mere centimeter. Although his legs brushed against the bar during the jump, it managed to stay in place, adding to the excitement of the event.

The 23-year-olds historic jump saw him finish way clear of the Philippines Ernest John Obiena, who managed 5.82m, in second.

"I am usually filled with excitement for these world records, as they bring about a great sense of satisfaction. There isn't much more to say, honestly," Duplantis, who previously established a record at Hayward Field in the previous year, shared with reporters. "It was an incredible way to conclude the year, I have never experienced an ending like this before."

He further stated, "By the time I retire, my ultimate ambition is to have set the bar at such a high level that it represents the pinnacle of my achievements."

Tsegay shattered the women's 5,000m record, slicing nearly five seconds off the previous mark set by Kenyan athlete Faith Kipyegon in June. Adding to her accolades as the reigning 10,000m world champion, Tsegay surged ahead of Beatrice Chebet in the final moments of the race.

Enduring evident pain and propelled by the cheering crowd, she narrowly fell short of breaking the 14-minute mark as she crossed the finish line and collapsed onto the floor. Chebet secured second place with a time of 14:05.92, which stands as the third-fastest time ever recorded.

Tsegays effort means that the womens 5000m record has now been lowered by nearly 11 seconds over the past three years.
