Armand “Mondo” Duplantis has once again proven why he is considered the undisputed king of pole vault. The Swedish-American athlete set a new world record by clearing 6.31 meters, further cementing his dominance in the sport.
This latest achievement adds to an extraordinary run of performances by Duplantis. In June last year, he cleared 6.28 meters in Stockholm, setting a world record on home soil in Sweden. It marked the second time he broke the world record in his home country, a moment that thrilled the local crowd and athletics fans around the world.
The Stockholm jump was also one of four world-record-breaking performances by Duplantis during the 2025 season, highlighting a year of unmatched consistency and excellence.
With each record-breaking vault, Duplantis continues to raise the bar—literally and figuratively—in pole vaulting. As he pushes the limits of the sport, the question now is not whether he will break the record again, but how high he can ultimately go.
