Armand Duplantis still has more goals to achieve in his pole vault career, as he attempted to extend his world record during the European Championships.

The American-born Swede, known as 'Mondo,' fell short on three attempts to clear 6.25 meters, yet he still claimed his third European title by clearing 6.10 meters. This adds to his record of eight world records, the last set at the Diamond League in April.
