Another record for Mondo

PUMA athlete Armand “Mondo” Duplantis sets new pole vault world record of 6.23 metres

September 18, 2023

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.

PUMAs TOP SHOES: The RS-Computer

What If Your Running Shoe Could Think? It’s easy to assume that wearable tech was born with the rise of smartwatches.

This International Women’s Day we’re bringing the conversation around mental health to the forefront, continuing to break the stigma and support the well-being of our women in sports.
