World Athletics Indoor Championships 2022 - Day 3 afternoon session: Mondo Duplantis breaks world record again - as it happened

Mondo Duplantis did it again, breaking the pole vault world record just 13 days after he did so in the Stark Arena.

Ever the showman, the Swede cleared 6.20m with his third and final attempt in the last moment of action of the whole event.

That was the second world record of the evening after Grant Holloway equalled his 60m hurdles mark from Madrid last year in the semi-finals before retaining his title.

There was a shock for Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the 1500m as he was outsprinted by Ethiopia's Samuel Tefera, while Ajee Wilson finally won the women's 800m after two silvers at the last two World Indoors.

And there was home joy as Ivana Vuleta (formerly Spanovic) retained her long jump title with the best jump in the world this year.

Read on to find out what happened in the final session of the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade (latest news top).

20:13 Mondo Duplantis breaks the world record again!

With his third and final attempt, Mondo Duplantis has cleared 6.20m.

His first two attempts were abortive ones but, given the opportunity to end the meeting in style, the Swedish superstar obliged. He just brushed the bar on his way over before running off the mat with delight.

There's a hug and a kiss for girlfriend Desiré Inglander and then out come the interesting dance moves again. But there's no denying he's a showman.

Gold in the final event on the track went to Jamaica in the women's 4x400m relay.

The Netherlands led early on thanks to a strong lead-off leg from Lieke Klaver followed by Jamaica and Poland with the United States off the pace.

But on the second leg, Janieve Russell sent Jamaica into the lead with Roneisha McGregor then fending off the United States' Brittany Aveni.

On the anchor, it was Stephenie Ann McPherson at the front and she was not for passing as Jamaica took gold.

It looked like it was between USA and Poland for silver, but Femke Bol flew down a gap on the inside to secure second place for the Netherlands with the Poles edging out USA for bronze.

20:04 One world record attempt left for Mondo Duplantis

It's another abortive try at 6.20m from world indoor pole vault champion Mondo Duplantis. It does feel as though that long delay before these world record attempts rather took the wind out of his sails.

He does have the opportunity to end the weekend on a high note with his last attempt coming after the women's 4x400m relay for which the United States were the fastest qualifiers. But look out for Poland who have done well in these events down the years.

19:58 Kevin Borlee brings home relay gold for Belgium

What a thriller of a men's 4x400m relay that was.

Spain's lead-off man Bruno Hortelano gave his team the lead from the outside and Iñaki Canal just stayed ahead of Belgium.

Jonathan Sacoor put the Belgians in front with the Netherlands and Great Britain joining the fray, but Manuel Guijarro had left something in reserve and he handed over in front for Spain with Bernat Erta striding clear on his first lap. It soon became clear that Erta had gone out too hard with 34-year-old Kevin Borlee surging to the front to win gold for Belgium in 3:06.52.

Spain held on for silver with the Netherlands taking bronze.

Mondo Duplantis had his first attempt at 6.20m but he bailed out three-quarters of the way through. He'll have two more tries at a new world record.

19:49 Delay for Duplantis

Mondo Duplantis doesn't look especially happy at the moment.

There's a long pause for the bar to be raised to the correct height for the record attempt with Duplantis visibly unimpressed. He's speaking to an official before sharing a joke with one of his fellow competitors.

It looks like the relays will start before the Swede makes his bid for more history.

The men are at the blocks for the 4x400m relay. Czech Republic are the fastest qualifiers with the USA failing to qualify after Isaiah Harris pulled up injured.

19:42 Duplantis to attempt new world record after winning pole vault gold

Mondo Duplantis is the new world indoor pole vault champion thanks to a first-time clearance of 6.05m.

Rio 2016 gold medallist Thiago Braz had three failures at that height to end the competition, but the Swede will now attempt 6.20m having broken the world record here in Belgrade just 13 days ago.

There are just the relays to come on the track with the athletes coming out for the men's 4x400m. But all eyes right now are on the pole vault runway.

19:33 Grant Holloway powers to hurdles gold

It wasn't as quick as his world record-equalling effort in the semi-finals, but it didn't need to be.

After what looked like a little twitch in the blocks, Grant Holloway powered away from his rivals again to retain his men's 60m hurdles title in 7.39.

France's Pascal Martinot-Lagarde took silver in 7.50 from another American, Jarret Eaton, (7.53).

I'm not sure if Mondo Duplantis is auditioning for Sweden's version of Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing With The Stars, but he's just showed off some interesting dance moves.

That was after he cleared 6.05m, a new championship record, with consummate ease. Even if Thiago Braz clears this height, 2cm higher than his personal best he cleared to take gold at Rio 2016, he will trail on countback with Duplantis all but assured of gold.

19:26 Thiago Braz keeps pole vault competition going

Fine margins in the men's pole vault final. With his second attempt at 5.95m, Chris Nilsen nudged the bar on his way down and it eventually fell off the bracket.

Then came Thiago Braz with his third and final atttempt. He also knocked the bar but this time it stayed in place.

Nilsen's third attempt - with all his rivals standing by the side of the runway cheering him on - was not as close as his second, and he has to settle for bronze.

The last two Olympic champions - Braz and Mondo Duplantis - will fight it out for gold.

Next up on the track is the men's 60m hurdles. Can Grant Holloway go even quicker than his world record-equalling effort in the semi-finals?

19:22 Ivana Vuleta retains long jump title

Home favourite Ivana Vuleta (formerly Spanovic) has retained her long jump title much to the delight of most of the fans inside Belgrade's Stark Arena.

She had the two best jumps of the competition: 6.89m in round two and then 7.06m in round four which was the longest distance in the world this year.

Her gold had already been confirmed before her last jump and, with the adrenalin flowing, a big overstep was the result. But it mattered not as she took the Serbian flag from the crowd before going on a very popular lap of honour.

Silver went to Ese Brume of Nigeria with bronze medallist Lorraine Ugen winning Britain's second medal of the event.

19:13 Duplantis over 5.95m with ease

Goodness me, Mondo Duplantis has just made 5.95m look ridiculously easy as he retakes the lead in the pole vault final.

The super Swede cleared it with at least 20cm to spare, beating his chest after just his third jump - and third clearance - of the competition.

Chris Nilsen and Thiago Braz both failed with their first attempts with the American currently in second place.

Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk won't be winning two medals in a day with the Ukrainian fouling her last jump. She finishes in sixth place with just the top five left to jump.

19:06 Chris Nilsen clears 5.90m as pole vault approaches business end

Chris Nilsen goes over 5.90m with his second attempt to take the lead in the pole vault final for now. That's because Mondo Duplantis and Thiago Braz elected to pass at 5.90m.

All three are guaranteed medals with Valentin Lavillenie having three failures although the younger brother of Olympic champion and former world record holder Renaud Lavillenie will go home happy after setting a new personal best of 5.85m.

The bar now goes up to 5.95m with Duplantis the only man possessing a blemish-free record. He has had just two jumps so far.

19:02 Vuleta goes further clear in long jump

The Belgrade crowd goes wild as Ivana Vuleta extends her lead with 7.06m, the best jump in the world this year. She may well have put this competition to bed and secured her second consecutive world indoor title.

Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk looked to have gone close to seven metres with the very next jump but she was given a red light. The Ukrainian shook her head after seeing the replay of her impact on the board and it was marginal to say the least.

Chris Nilsen has his first failure of the pole vault competition at 5.90m with Valentin Lavillenie also unsuccessful. They will have two more attempts although Nilsen might be tempted to go to 5.95m.

18:56 Women's long jump heating up

Home favourite and defending champion Ivana Vuleta continues to lead the long jump thanks to her second-round jump of 6.89m, but it's all change in behind.

Nigeria's Olympic bronze medallist Ese Brume has moved into second thanks to her third-round effort of 6.85m. And Britain's Lorraine Ugen has jumped 6.82m to go into the bronze medal position.

It's tight at the top with Tiffany Flynn in fourth (6.78m), one centimetre ahead of American teammate Quanesha Burks. Triple jump silver medallist Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk is next after jumping 6.73m in the fourth round. There's just 20cm separating first from eighth.

Only four men cleared 5.85m in the men's pole vault but Belgium's Ben Broeders passed on his final attempt to have one go at 5.90m. He failed so there are just four men left to fight out the medals. Mondo Duplantis and Thiago Braz have passed at 5.90m.

18:46 Samuel Tefera stuns Jakob Ingebrigtsen in 1500m

A shock in the 1500m final as Samuel Tefera takes gold for Ethiopia.

Abel Kipsang led from the start but Jakob Ingebrigtsen moved through into the lead with just over a lap gone and increased the pace.

Tefera was soon his nearest challenger with Kipsang and Oliver Hoare in behind. He moved to the leader's shoulder 100m from home with Ingebrigtsen still looking very relaxed at the front. But it was Tefera who finished the faster to take gold in a championship record 3:32.77.

Ingebrigtsen was second with Kipsang taking bronze.

18:34 Pole vault starts to thin out

Great reaction from Valentin Lavillenie as he clears 5.85m in the pole vault for a new personal best. His previous best was 5.82m set in Monaco almost four years ago.

He's one of just four men over so far at that height with Rio 2016 gold medallist Thiago Braz also successful with his second attempt. Mondo Duplantis and Chris Nilsen went over first time.

The medal places remain unchanged in the women's long jump with Spain's Fatima Diame up to fourth with 6.71m.

Next up on the track is the men's 1500m where Norway's Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen is the hot favourite.

18:20 Ajee Wilson takes 800m gold for the United States

The first gold of the night goes to Ajee Wilson with a sensational performance in the women's 800m.

Natoya Goule of Jamaica led after the first bend from Uganda's world outdoor champion Halimah Nakaayi. Wilson settled in fourth place but kicked into the lead with just over 200m to go and cruised clear to take victory.

It's third time lucky for the American who took silver in both the 2016 and 2018 editions behind Francine Niyonsaba.

Ethiopia's Freweyni Hailu flew home for silver ahead of Nakaayi.

Tiffany Flynn is up to second in the women's long jump with a second-round effort of 6.78m, edging ahead of American teammate Quanesha Burks. But it's Ivana Vuleta who leads the way.

And in the pole vault, Mondo Duplantis has gone over first time at 5.85m. Chris Nilsen is the only other man to clear 5.85m at the first attempt.

KC Lightfoot is out after three failures at 5.75m.

18:07 Vuleta takes long jump lead to delight home crowd

That red light is getting plenty of practice with just five legal jumps out of 15 in the first round with Quanesha Burks leading American teammate Tiffany Flynn.

But in round two, Ivana Vuleta goes into the lead with a season's best of 6.89m.

The athletes are on the track ahead of the next final, the women's 800m.

This is now wide open as Britain's hot favourite Keely Hodgkinson pulled out with a quad injury. Jamaica's Natoya Goule and American Ajee Wilson are among the favourites but both like to front-run so this could be interesting tactically.

17:55 David King wins draw to go through to 60m hurdles final

When I said it was close between Nomoto Shusei and Britain's David King for the last spot in the 60m hurdles final, I didn't expect this to happen.

They clocked the same time to the thousandth, and both of their vest name labels are going into a black cotton bag for a draw to decide who goes through.

And it's King whose name is picked out so he takes the last spot in the final at 19:25. Nomoto looks distraught.

It's currently 1-2 USA in the women's long jump with Tiffany Flynn going into second with 6.70m. Quanesha Burks still leads with her season's best 6.77m.

I said red flags earlier but no-jumps are actually being signified by a red light next to the take-off board, with it flashing green if it's legal.

17:43 Red flags galore in first round of women's long jump

Plenty of cheers for home favourite Ivana Vuleta (formerly Spanovic) ahead of the women's long jump. The Serbian athlete won gold in Birmingham four years ago to make it a medal of each colour at the World Indoors.

Support too for Ukraine's Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk who took silver in the triple jump earlier today. But she overstepped massively in the first round and will need to make a pretty major adjustment for round two.

A good start from USA's Quanesha Burks who posts a season's best 6.77m to take the early lead. Then it's the turn of Vuleta who, like Bekh-Romanchuk, is well over the board. So far we've had just one legal jump in five attempts.

17:31 Holloway almost a quarter of a second faster than his rivals in 60m hurdles semis

We're all getting our breaths back after Grant Holloway made it two world records on the day, equalling his own mark from last year.

The third semi-final heat went the way of France's Wilhem Belocian in 7.53 ahead of Chris Douglas whose 7.56 was a new Australian record.

Spain's Olympic finalist Asier Martinez is definitely through as one of the fastest losers, and it's close between Nomoto Shusei and Britain's David King - who ran a personal best in the third heat - for the last spot with both clocking 7.57.

But it looks like a fight for second in the final in just under two hours with Holloway almost a quarter of a second faster than the rest.

There's a bit of a gap on the track now with the next event the women's 800m final at 18:05.

Mondo Duplantis has opted to pass at 5.75m in the pole vault final. And the women's long jump final is just a few minutes away.

17:20 Grant Holloway equals world record in 60m hurdles semi-finals!

USA's Jarret Eaton took the first semi-final heat of the 60m hurdles in 7.52 ahead of Milan Trajkovic of Cyprus (7.53).

But most of the attention is on the second of three heats featuring world record holder Grant Holloway and Britain's reigning champion Andrew Pozzi.

And the Olympic silver medallist does not disappoint, fairly flying out of the blocks before charging clear of his rivals. The time is 7.31, just two-hundredths outside his own world record and inside Dayron Robles' previous championship best of 7.34.

But the time is then corrected. It's 7.29, equalling his world record set in Madrid last year. What a run from the American.

Pozzi was only fourth and will miss the final due to his slow time. Olympic finalist Pascal Martinot-Lagarde took second in 7.53 ahead of Spain's Asier Martinez who clocked a personal best of 7.55 which should see him into the final.

There's one more semi-final heat to come.

The men's pole vault is yet to slowly coming to the boil. All 13 made it over 5.60m, but we're bound to lose some now with the bar up to 5.75m.

17:04 Duplantis over 5.60m to start his pole vault competition

No problems for Mondo Duplantis who clears 5.60m at the first attempt in the early stages of the pole vault.

His nearest rival appears to be Olympic silver medallist Chris Nilsen who cleared 5.45m with his first vault of the competition before also going over 5.60m.

The victor from four years ago, Renaud Lavillenie, is not competing but his younger brother Valentin is in the field and he's also cleared 5.60m at the first time of asking.

Also in the line-up are Olympic finalist KC Lightfoot and Rio 2016 gold medallist Thiago Braz.

16:30 Mondo Duplantis the star attraction

Welcome along to the afternoon session on the final day of the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade.

After triple jump queen Yulimar Rojas broke her own world record to retain her world indoor title this morning, fellow Olympic champion Mondo Duplantis is looking to do similar in the pole vault.

It's less than two weeks since the Swede cleared 6.19m in this very same Stark Arena to add one centimetre to his own world record, and he warned then that "there's going to be a lot more to come".

Unlike Rojas, Duplantis is not the defending champion having finished eighth behind Renaud Lavillenie in Birmingham four years ago.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen also bids to add the world indoor title to gold from Tokyo in the 1500m, with Grant Holloway aiming to topple reigning champion Andrew Pozzi in the men's 60m hurdles.

Keely Hodgkinson's withdrawal through injury has left the women's 800m wide open with Jamaica's Natoya Goule and American Ajee Wilson among the favourites.

After Yaroslava Mahuchikh's emotional success in the high jump on Saturday morning, Ukraine's Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk is one of the contenders in the women's long jump after her silver behind Rojas in the triple jump.

Then the 4x400m relays - two laps apiece on the indoor track, of course - round off proceedings in the Serbian capital.

Here's the schedule with seven titles to be decided as the action in Belgrade reaches its conclusion.
