Shortly after his Olympic exploits, the pole vaulter raised the bar to 6.26m at the Silesia Diamond League and cleared it, winning gold and breaking the record for the tenth time.

He shared that the tenth world record break wasn't in foresight since his focus for 2024 was the Olympics.

"This year I focused on the Olympics, the record just came naturally because I was in good shape. So I am not surprised with the record today, but I am thankful.” (via CNN)

Though Inglander was not present to watch her boyfriend make history, she supported him over a video call. She posted the screen recording of her call with Duplantis and wrote:

"10th time and still counting❤️ @mondo_duplantis"

The 24-year-old Swede will compete in pole vault at the Zurich Diamond League, slated for September 5. This will be the last Diamond League stop for the athletes to collect points before they advance to the AG Memorial Van Damme in Brussels for the Diamond League finals.
