Sweden’s Armand "Mondo" Duplantis fell agonizingly short of setting a new world record on the way to securing gold in the men’s pole vault on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old failed on three occasions at the height of 6.19 meters.

Duplantis was bidding to surpass his own world record of 6.18 meters.

The last athlete to win the pole vault Olympic title in a world record was Poland’s Wladyslaw Kozakiewicz at the 1980 Games in Moscow.

Duplantis’s gold was confirmed after he cleared a height of 6.02 meters with his first effort.

He remains the only man to surpass six meters this year.

American Chris Nilsen won the silver medal, and Brazil’s Thiago Braz, who was defending his 2016 Rio title, took bronze.

The 29-year-old won her 100 meter gold at Tokyo in an Olympic record time on Saturday before sealing her place in history with an emphatic performance in the women’s 200 meter on Tuesday.

In men’s athletics, only Usain Bolt has surpassed this feat winning the sprint double on three straight occasions – Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016.

The Hungarian, who won the 77 kilogram event at the 2019 world championships, defeated Kyrgyzstan’s Akzhol Makhmudov in Tuesday’s final.

Makhmudov had been hoping to win Kyrgyzstan’s first ever gold medal at an Olympics.  

Lőrincz's brother, Viktor, will also bid to become an Olympic champion on Wednesday when he competes in the 87 kilogram Greco-Roman wrestling category. 

Shohei Yabiku of Japan and Rafig Huseynov of Azerbaijan claimed the bronze medals.

Three-time Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes said Biles recognizes she is "very much a trailblazer in helping to change the culture of the sport of gymnastics."

After Biles earned a bronze medal in the women's balance beam finals, Dawes said she "wasn't afraid watching her" during the event, Biles' first competition after withdrawing from other to focus on her mental well-being.

"She wasn't going to put herself in a situation where she was going to possibly injure herself," Dawes, the first Black American to win an individual Olympic event medal in gymnastics, said on CNN's "New Day."

Dawes commended Biles, as well as Naomi Osaka and Michael Phelps, for being open about mental health issues.

"It's creating this national and global dialogue about it. I think that's very important, and that's where it starts, and many people are going to feel comfortable talking about mental issues they have, and recognizing that they are human," Dawes said.
