Sweden's Armand "Mondo" Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record for the 14th time
on Monday night, clearing 6.30 meters on his third attempt to win gold at the 2025 World

The Swedish athlete had already clinched the gold medal with a first-attempt clearance at
6.15 meters before requesting the bar be raised to 6.30 meters—one centimeter higher than
his previous world record of 6.29 meters set in Budapest last month. After missing his first
two attempts, Duplantis delivered on his final try, with the bar wobbling momentarily before
staying in place. aa +2
