Mondo Duplantis has once again made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by breaking the pole vault world record for the ninth (!) time. Our PUMA athlete cleared an astonishing height of 6.25 meters, surpassing his previous record of 6.24 meters set earlier this year. This remarkable achievement also secured him his second consecutive Olympic gold medal 🥇.

Mondo was the man of the hour 👑! Again! With his 6.16m (more than 20 feet, 2 inches) clearance at the Diamond League meeting in front of his home crowd in Stockholm, Sweden, he beat his outdoor pole vault world record by one centimeter last Thursday. The PUMA athlete now has broken the indoor and outdoor world records a combined six times in the last two and a half years. Mondo is truly BORN TO FLY and we can’t wait to see what he has in store this month at the 2022 World Championships in Athletics in Eugene, USA.   The 22-year-old Swede has recalibrated the limits of the pole vault. In Stockholm the Olympic and world indoor champion took full advantage of near-ideal conditions – and the inspiring home-town setting. Mondo sailed over 5.63m, 5.83m, 5.93m and 6.03m before taking his two attempts at 6.16m. “I wanted to come here today and do something special. I felt in shape and I have great support here in Stockholm where I live now. It’s my home, so it means extra more.”, Mondo said after the competition. “This is the time I wanted to be in my best shape. I feel like I am definitely in shape to win the title and maybe do something special in Eugene.”, he continued. We have been warned! 🦅   Congratulations, Mondo, from your PUMA Fam!

Another world record for Mondo! At the Diamond League Final in Eugene, PUMA Athlete Armand “Mondo” Duplantis broke the pole vault record  for the seventh (!!) time, setting a new mark of 6.23 metres. It’s difficult to get into words how unbelievable Mondo’s performance is. While there are no longer separate world records for indoor and outdoor events, Mondo broke the unofficial outdoor record, which was set five years before he was even born, in 2020. On Sunday in Eugene, he jumped 9 centimetres higher than that 1994 World Record.   Here is Mondo’s Progression of World Records: 6.17 m FEBRUARY 8, 2020 Corpernicus Cup in Torun (Poland) 6.18 m FEBRUARY 15, 2020 Glasgow meeting (Scotland) 6.19m MARCH 7, 2022 Meeting in Belgrade (Serbia) 6.20 m MARCH 20, 2022 World Indoor Championships in Belgrade 6.21 m JULY 24, 2022 World Championships in Eugene (United States) 6.22 m FEBRUARY 25, 2023 All-Star Pole of Clermont-Ferrand 6.23m SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 Diamond League Final, Eugene   Another amazing performance, Mondo, your PUMAFam is proud of you!     View this post on Instagram   A post shared by World Athletics (@worldathletics)

At the World Athletics Indoor Tour Silver meeting, in Clermont-Ferrand on Saturday he added one centimetre to his own world pole vault record. 6.22 meters! 🦅   The Olympic and world champion attempted the record height already on his season opener in Uppsala, Sweden at the start of this month where he won in the end with 6.10m for his best-ever season debut. Mondo also tried 6.22m eight days later in Berlin, where he managed a best of 6.06m.
