‘Mondo’ Duplantis breaks world record and surprises Kipyegon and Lyles

The Swede has shown to be stubborn despite the tough conditions. Strong opposition from Filipino Ernest John ObiennaHe broke a new Asian record by joining the 6 meters selected group and moved up to second place with his times of 5.75, 5.85 and 6.00.

‘Mondo’, far from being ashamed, continued his work by carrying out the contest he had planned and clearing the first 5.55 (half a meter left), 5.85, 5.95, 6.00, 6.05 and 6.10. The need to reach the height needed to win the championship perhaps lessened the missing millimeter to continue making history.

American-born Swedish stopped 6.23 meters The event continued in the stadium. The first result was clear, but the second showed that he might be in a position to break the first universal record in these World Cups.

The women had just finished the 1,500 race and Duplantis was the center of attention throughout the stadium, as he wanted. The stands were applauded as much or more than when a Hungarian athlete competed, As if the Scandinavian was Noah Lyles, he ran and flew over the bar… but he rubbed against the bar and eventually fell.. Thus, the current Olympic champion took the second gold medal after silver with a time of 6.10 in Doha, while Obienna with a time of 6.00 and Australian Kurtis Marschall and an American Chris Nilsen carried him to the bronze medal with a time of 5.95.

The other big star of the day was Kaith Kipyegon, who had a dream season breaking 1,500 miles and 5,000 world records in just two months. With 1,500 gold already in his pocket, the Kenyan driver started as the favourites, in 12 and a half laps, with Dutch Sifan Hassan and big rivals of the ‘Ethiopian army’.

The test took place at medium speed and everything was decided in the last 400. There the African player imposed his own law, with constant change and acceleration in the final part of the contract. It looked close to ‘Oranje’ but Kipyegon, the two-time Olympic champion of ‘Milqui’, didn’t hesitate to make it to the top with a time of 14:53.88.followed by Hassan (14:54.11) and Kenyan Beatrice Chebet (14:54.33).

What was missing was Noah Lyles, who aspires to the third American men’s trio in history After victories in the 100 and 200 meters at the World Cups (Maurice Greene had done this before at Sevilla’99 and Tyson Gay at Osaka’07). The Americans were by far the favourites, and they did not fail deliveries like Chris Coleman, the deposed Fred Kerley, and the half-unknown Brandon Carnes.

The new ‘king of speed’ shared a sensational final post and He scored three points with his fingers as soon as he crossed the finish line (37.38). Yes, three gold. take off one’s hat. Massive Italy, led by Olympic champions Jacobs and Tortu, took the bronze (37.62) and the bronze reached Jamaica (37.76), a far cry from its dominance in the ‘Usain Bolt era’.

In the women’s category, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s poor delivery after her third stint winged the United States, which retained first place despite harassment from Shericka Jackson and Sha’Carri Richardson. awarded the reborn sprinter his third medal (two gold and one bronze). The North Americans were victorious with a score of 41.03, 18 percent less than Jaiamca, the Great Britain bronze medalist (41.97).

As for the other endings; Chase Ealey finished the American festival with a time of 20.43 kg.He beat Canada’s Sarah Mitton (20.08) and China’s Lijao Dong (19.69), leaving Portugal’s Auriol Dongmo without a medal. The new most complete man on the planet Canadian Pierre Lapage With 8 thousand 909 points in the decathlon, the athlete got close to 9 thousand points, followed by his compatriot Damian Warner with 8 thousand 804 points and Lindon Victor from Granada (from the island) with 8 thousand 756 points.
