Duplantis from Sweden, the greatest pole vaulter in history, unsurprisingly added another gold medal to his collection, jumping over 6.15 meters.

Greek pole vaulter Emmanouil ‘Manolo’ Karalis has secured a spot in his first-ever World Championships final

It was Duplantis atop the podium with 6.00m, Karalis taking a brilliant runner-up spot, and Kendricks finishing third with 5.80m.

Karalis has joined an elite club of athletes who have jumped over 6.08 meters, including Armand Duplantis (6.28 m) and Sergey Bubka (6.15 m).

Karalís, affectionately known as “Manolo,” once again proved himself not only a crowd favorite but also a world-class competitor on the verge of rewriting history

His next stop is the Madrid meet on Thursday, where he’ll be aiming not just for a win, but for crucial points to boost his standing in the team rankings

Mondo Duplantis took gold, but fell short of breaking the world, and his personal, record, failing to clear the 6.28 mark three times
