Emmanouil Karalis claimed silver in the pole vault at the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, on Saturday, March 22, setting a new national record.
The 24-year-old Greek athlete cleared 6.05 metres to finish second behind Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis at the Nanjing Youth Olympic Sports Park.
Karalis made two attempts to surpass Duplantis by attempting 6.10m and 6.15m.
This performance marks the latest milestone in Karalis’ remarkable rise, following his gold medal at the European Indoor Championships last month.
“This is a world-class performance that showcases my athletic ability and determination to reach the top of my sport,” Karalis said after the event.
