BUDAPEST, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Sweden's world record holder Armand Duplantis claimed his second consecutive world pole vault title on Saturday, but did not have a seventh world record in him on a steamy night in Budapest. "This was maybe the craziest atmosphere I've ever competed in so it meant a lot to be able to turn on a pole vault show for them. Duplantis has won 12 of 13 competitions this season, and has cleared 6.00m in a remarkable 50 different events. His most recent world record was 6.22 set in France in February. "But today never really felt like a world record competition.

"I would like to help enlighten those that are calling us 'cowards,' 'shameful,' 'pathetic,' etc.," Moon wrote in a lengthy Instagram post on Friday. "The pole vault is not an endurance event," wrote Moon, a two-time world champion and the Tokyo Olympic gold medallist. Michael Johnson, an eight-times world champion sprinter, was among those who questioned the decision, posting on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter: "Fans, do you like the shared gold concept? The shared gold conjured memories of the men's high jump at the Tokyo Olympics, where Mutaz Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi shared gold. "But in this instance, it was without a doubt the right decision, and one that I will never regret.
