The 25-year-old double Olympic and world champion continued his tradition of improving on his previous record by one centimetre in Budapest, having cleared 6.28 meters at the Stockholm Diamond League meeting in June.
Duplantis first broke the world record, then held by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie for six years, in February 2020 with a 6.17m clearance in Poland.
