Duplantis’ Record-Breaking Pole Vault Victory in Paris Olympics
In a stunning display of athleticism and skill, Armand “Mondo” Duplantis, representing Sweden, broke his own world record in the pole vault at the Paris Olympics.
The Louisiana-born athlete soared to a height of 6.25 meters, surpassing his previous record of 6.24 meters set earlier in the year. This remarkable feat not only secured him the gold medal but also etched his name deeper into the annals of pole vaulting history.
Duplantis’ performance was met with widespread acclaim, as he became the first athlete to retain the Olympic pole vault title since American Bob Richards in 1952 and 1956. The crowd at the Stade de France was on its feet, celebrating Duplantis’ achievement with thunderous applause.
