Mondo Duplantis has raised his pole vault world record to 6.29 meters at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial meet in Budapest.

Duplantis accounts for 32 of the 44 competitions where an athlete has cleared at least 6.10m, and is on a winning streak of 36 meets.

Pole vault sensation Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis said he was excited to be part of the growth of athletics after the two-time Olympic champion was handed an ambassadorial role for next year's inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship.
