Mondo Duplantis breaks his own pole vault world record again, a few weeks after his Olympic gold medal

CHORZOW, Poland — Armand Duplantis broke the pole vault world record again, this time clearing 6.26 meters at a Diamond League meet in Poland on Sunday.

Louisiana-born Duplantis, 24, who is representing his mother’s native Sweden, added another centimetre to his world record in Chorzow.

This is the third time this year that he has set a world record. He did so at the last Olympic Games in Paris, clearing 6.25 metres after winning the gold medal.

Duplantis, better known as “Mondo”, has now broken the world record 10 times in his career, each time by one centimetre.
