Mondo Duplantis won the men’s pole vault at the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham by clearing 6.15 metres.
The Swedish world-record holder set a championship record with his winning clearance. He had already cleared 6.10 metres, but the higher mark secured another continental title.
Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis challenged Duplantis deep into the competition and won silver after clearing 6.00 metres. The result extended Duplantis’s run of European outdoor pole-vault titles to four in succession.
The Birmingham victory came in the final session of the championships. It is important to distinguish the 6.15-metre championship record from Duplantis’s outright world record, which is higher and has been improved several times during his career.
