Armand Duplantis has not disappointed his millions of fans and has claimed another 14 World Record in Pole Vault, also taking gold for Sweden at the 2025 World Athletics Championships. On Sunday night in Tokyo, he jumped 6.30 metres and claimed the world title.
"It's better than I could have imagined. To give you guys this world record is amazing. I'm just so happy", he said. In Olympic Games of 2021, Duplantis won one of his first major titles at the same grounds, but the stands were empty due to the pandemic. Now, thousands of fans cheered for him.
Well behind were his rivals, the Greek Emmanouil Karalis, who jumped 6 metres and the Australian Kurtis Marschall, who jumped 5.95.
This is the fourth time he's broken his own record this year, from 6.27 to 6.30. At 25 years old, is there a limit for Duplantis?
