Armand Duplantis, a 24-year-old pole vaulter who competes for Sweden, broke the world record once again by clearing 6.26 meters in a Diamond League meet in Poland. This marks the third time this year that he has set a world record, with previous records set at the Olympic Games in Paris where he cleared 6.25 meters. Duplantis, also known as “Mondo,” has now broken the world record a total of 10 times in his career, each time by just one centimeter. Born in Louisiana, Duplantis has made a name for himself in the sport of pole vaulting with his impressive performances and record-breaking jumps. His latest accomplishment in Chorzow solidifies his position as one of the top pole vaulters in the world. With his continued success and drive for excellence, Duplantis is setting new standards in the sport and inspiring others to push the boundaries of what is possible in pole vaulting.
