Duplantis sets new pole vault world record for 14th time

Duplantis extended his world record by one centimeter for the 14th time, earning a $100,000 bonus and his third consecutive world title at the Tokyo championships.

  • Alphonce Felix Simbu of Tanzania won the marathon gold at the World Athletics Championships with a time of 2:09:48, edging out Germany's Amanal Petros by a lean at the finish line despite matching their times exactly.
  • The victory by Simbu marked the closest finish in World Championship marathon history, surpassing the famous 2001 finish by a single second, as it was the narrowest margin ever recorded.
  • This win is Simbu's first global title, adding to his previous medals, and emphasizes the importance of East African runners in distance events following a recent loss in the 10,000m race.
  • Italy's Iliass Aouani secured bronze with a time of 2:09:53, finishing just five seconds behind Simbu.
