NEW YORK (Reuters) -Fresh off yet another world record mark and with a third straight world gold in his sights, pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis is ready to push the boundaries of his sport again.

The gravity-defying Swede broke the world record for a 13th time on Tuesday, clearing 6.29 metres at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, and will be one of the biggest attractions at next month's World Championships in Tokyo.
