ANKARA

Armand "Mondo" Duplantis on Saturday broke the pole vault world record at Diamond League competition in Xiamen, China.

The reigning world and Olympic champion cleared 6.24 meters to break the record for the eighth time in his career.

Duplantis this March also successfully defended his indoor world championship title.
