Armand Duplantis

Biography

Armand "Mondo" Duplantis is rewriting the pole vault record books with a frequency that makes Sergey Bubka look cautious. The Swedish-American prodigy has broken the world record 14 times and counting, pushing the bar to 6.30m — a height that seemed impossible a generation ago. Two Olympic golds at ages 22 and 24, three World Championship golds, and a margin of victory over his competitors that makes the pole vault a foregone conclusion. At 26, he may not even be at his peak yet.
