The Greek athlete Emmanouil Karalis, known as Manolo, won the pole vault final at the Diamond League in Brussels. The Greek athlete took advantage of the last-minute absence of Swedish world record holder Armand Duplantis to secure victory at the event.

Karalis outperformed his competitors in a contest that was marked by the absence of the Swedish favorite, who was not present at the competition. This victory represents an important moment for the Greek athlete in his career.

The Diamond League is one of the most prestigious competitions in world athletics, and the victory in Brussels grants Karalis important points for the season's overall standings. The result demonstrates the Greek vaulter's ability to seize opportunities when the main favorites are not present.
