Karalis secures victory in Brussels
Emmanouil Karalis cleared 6.12 meters to win the men’s pole vault at the Diamond League event held in Brussels. The Greek athlete used the opportunity created by the non-participation of world record holder Armand Duplantis.
Impact of Duplantis absence
Duplantis, the dominant figure in the event, did not take part in the competition. His absence opened the field for other competitors, allowing Karalis to achieve the top result of the evening.
Next steps for the athletes
Further details on the remainder of the 2026 Diamond League series and Karalis’s schedule have not yet been released by the organizers.
