Diamond League: Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Armand Duplantis set world records in Silesia

Jakob Ingebrigtsen obliterated the 28-year-old 3,000m world record by more than three seconds before Armand Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record at the Diamond League meeting in Silesia.

Norway’s Ingebrigtsen looked in disbelief as he crossed the finish line in seven minutes 17.55 seconds, breaking the previous record of 7:20.67 set by Kenya’s Daniel Komen in 1996.

Komen’s time had been the longest-standing men’s athletics world record in an individual track event.

In the pole vault, Sweden’s Duplantis cleared 6.26m, one centimetre higher than his previous best set

earlier this month.

It is the third time the 24-year-old has broken the world record this season.

Ingebrigtsen, 23, said: “It feels special, amazing. I was hoping to challenge the world record here, but based on my training, I can never predict exactly what kind of time I am capable of.

“I would not have imagined I could run 7:17, though. At the beginning the pace felt really fast, but then I started to feel my way into the race and found a good rhythm.

“Now I want to challenge world records at all distances, but it is one step at a time.”

Olympic 10,000m silver medallist Berihu Aregawi was second behind Ingebrigtsen in 7:21.28 – the third-fastest time in history – while fellow ********** Yomif Kejelcha placed third (7:28.44).

Earlier this week, Ingebrigtsen exacted revenge over ********* Cole Hocker

at the Diamond League meeting in Lausanne.

The Norwegian lost his Olympic title over the distance to Hocker at Paris 2024, with Great Britain’s Josh Kerr second, but won 5,000m gold.
