Havana, June 12 (RHC) - The multiple world record holder in pole vault, Armand Duplantis, attracts attention on the final day of the European Athletics Championships, which the day before gave dream marks in Rome.

The 24-year-old Swedish star is the overwhelming favorite to take the pole vault crown, in a season in which he remains undefeated in nine competitions, 6 of them with marks over 6.00m.

This year the Swede raised his world record to 6.24 last April in Xiamen (China).

The European Athletics Championships have given away several dream marks, including those in the triple jump final, where two Cuban athletes nationalized by other countries surpassed the 18.00m barrier.

The nationalized Spanish Jordan Díaz stretched up to 18.18 meters, dethroning the Olympic champion, the Portuguese Pedro Pablo Pichardo.

Díaz, a student of Iván Pedroso, also a Cuban, achieved a record for the event, the third best mark of all time and of course Spanish primacy.

Pichardo had to settle for second place, with another luxury flight (18.04m).

Other records for the event have been set by the Italian Olympic high jump champion Gianmarco Tamberi (2.37), and the king of the 400 hurdles in Tokyo-2020, the Norwegian Karsten Warholm, set (46.98).

Also those achieved by the Dutch Femke Bol in the 400m hurdles (52.49), the Polish Kaczmarek, in the 400m (48.98), the Italian Leonardo Fabbri in the shot put (22.45), and the Greek Tentoglou in the long distance (8.65).
