With his jump of 6.17m at the Greek National Championships, Emmanouil Karalis @manolo moved up to spot number 2 on the the all-time men's pole vault leaderboard, ahead of French legend Renaud Lavillenie. This performance is the highest vault by anyone other than Mondo Duplantis in 12 years, and blew past his previous personal best by 9cm 😱 And with the 2026 World Indoor Championships just around the corner, we think he's just getting started...
