The Swedish pole vaulter Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis He is destined to revalidate the Tokyo 2020 gold in Paris 2024. At 24 years old, he has mastered the specialty enough. Having accomplished his important task, he gave the current World Games a world record with an amazing jump. At the top, where it moves best.
When the Olympic title was won, posters with 5.25 appeared in the stands. An invitation for the athlete to test the universal limit, which he set in April at 5.24 meters.
He didn’t get it on the first try because he didn’t remove his arm in time, but he showed that he has the record within his reach. Not for the second time either, but for the third time he rose to the sky of Saint-Denis to leave behind one of the great moments of the Olympic event.
Duplantis posed with 5.25. He didn’t save it for another rally, with its sweet financial prize. “My dream when I was young was to break a world record at the Games and I have made it come true,” reasoned this young phenomenon, born and raised in the United States under the protection of his father, a former Pole vaulters and coaches, Greg. He chose the passport of his mother, the Swedish Helena, a former heptathlete.
From Tokyo in 2020 to Paris 2024, 24 centimeters separate the 6.01 of summer 2021 from the current 6.25. That will continue to improve.
“People are losing it. It’s so loud it’s like a football game. I have some experience in stadiums with a hundred thousand spectators but I’ve never been the center of attention. I’m just trying to channel that energy. everyone is gave me and they gave me a lot,” explains ‘Mondo’.
The Ukrainian Sergey Bubka he pushed the pole in the 90s, the French Renaud Lavilleniea reference for Duplantis, gave the help that ‘Mondo’ did to raise it to a higher level.
Wonderful. Two Olympic golds, four at the world championships and another poker at the Europeans. He shared the podium in the French capital with the American Sam Kendricks (5.95) and the Greek Emmanuel Karalis (5.90).
