Sweden’s powerhouse pole vaulter Armand Duplantis has stunned Paris 2024 with a jaw-dropping world record jump. After winning the gold medal, Duplantis kept raising the bar, eventually bettering his own pole vault world record. Such was his dominance, he had the gold medal locked away after his first-time clearance at 6m. He then raised the bar to 6.10m and promptly shattered the Olympic record at the first time of asking. Not satisfied with that, Duplantis had the bar lifted all the way to 6.
” Duplantis, after realising he had just claimed his ninth world record, then bolted off to hug his parents and girlfriend, sparking a media frenzy. Australian Kurtis Marschall battled through the pain from the ankle he dislocated earlier this year to finish a creditable sixth. Marschall’s best moment of Monday night’s competition came with a first-time clearance at 5.85m after he had passed his final two attempts at 5.80m.
