Paris, Saint-Denis — At his last try, Armand "Mondo" Duplantis broke his own world record by vaulting a height of 6.25 meters (20 feet 6 inches), captivating the Stade de France. With this accomplishment, he set his eighth world record and cemented his reputation as a remarkable pole vaulter.
After breaking the record for the first time in February 2020, Duplantis has revolutionized the sport. He experienced difficulty in his early tries, but with the help of his father and coach, Greg, he strategically adjusted.
