Ingebrigtsen and Duplantis break world records in Silesia

Jakob Ingebrigtsen shattered one of the longest standing track world records on a sweltering afternoon at the Silesian Stadium on Sunday (25) as he clocked a staggering 7:17.55 for the 3000m, taking more than three seconds off the mark of 7:20.67 set by Kenya’s Daniel Komen in 1996.

And the 12th of this season’s Wanda Diamond League series ended on a dizzying high as Mondo Duplantis cleared 6.26m to earn his 10th pole vault world record, adding a centimetre to the mark he established in retaining his Olympic title in Paris earlier this month.
