Ingebrigtsen and Duplantis Shatter World Records.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen smashed the 28-year-old 3,000m world record by over three seconds, followed by Armand Duplantis breaking his own pole vault world record at the Diamond League event in Silesia.

Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen was stunned as he crossed the finish line in 7:17.55, breaking the 28-year-old 3,000m world record set by Kenya's Daniel Komen in 1996, which was the longest-standing men's track record.

In the pole vault, Sweden's Armand Duplantis cleared 6.26m, surpassing his previous record by one centimeter. This was his third world record of the season and 10th overall. Duplantis was joined by Sam Kendricks and Emmanouil Karalis, both of whom cleared 6m.

Reflecting on his performance, Duplantis said, "I focused on the Olympics this year, and the record came naturally because I was in great shape. I'm not surprised, but I'm grateful."

Ingebrigtsen Sets Sights on Conquering Every World Record

Earlier this week, Jakob Ingebrigtsen claimed a bit of revenge by winning the 1500m at the Diamond League meet in Lausanne, after losing his Olympic title to American Cole Hocker in Paris. Despite that loss, Ingebrigtsen had secured gold in the 5,000m.

Carrying that momentum into Sunday’s meet in Poland, the 23-year-old surprised even himself by setting a new world record. “It feels special, amazing,” he said. “I hoped to challenge the world record here, but I didn’t expect to run 7:17. At first, the pace felt fast, but I found my rhythm.”

Ingebrigtsen now aims to challenge world records at various distances, though he emphasizes taking it step by step.

Behind him, Olympic 10,000m silver medallist Berihu Aregawi finished second in 7:21.28, the third-fastest time ever, with fellow Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha coming in third at 7:28.44.

Reekie Shines as GB’s Standout Performer

Great Britain's Daryll Neita improved to fourth in the women’s 100m final with a time of 11.01 seconds, up from seventh in Lausanne three days prior. Dina Asher-Smith, who had a season-best 10.88 to win on Thursday, chose not to compete in Silesia, citing the need for rest.

Jamaica's Tia Clayton took first place in 10.83 seconds.

Jemma Reekie finished second in the women’s 1,000m with a time of 2:32.56, behind Kenya’s Nelly Chepchirchir. Georgia Bell came in third in the women’s 1500m.

In the men’s 800m, Kenya’s Emmanuel Wanyonyi, who was close to the world record earlier in the week, was beaten by Canada’s Marco Arop with a time of 1:41.86.

Jamaica’s Rasheed Broadbell, who upset Grant Holloway in Lausanne, saw the American narrowly win the men’s 110m hurdles with a time of 13.04.

Botswana's Letsile Tebogo won the 200m in 19.83, his second Diamond League victory in four days.

Olympic bronze medallist Fred Kerley won the men’s 100m in 9.87, while Paris silver medallist Kishane Thompson did not compete.

Femke Bol and Karsten Warholm, who missed gold in Paris, won the women’s and men’s 400m hurdles in Silesia with times of 52.13 and 46.95, respectively.
