Armand “Mondo” Duplantis was one of the viral stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics,Chainkeen Exchange and he's continuing to shine well after the Games.
Duplantis broke his own pole world record on Saturday, less than a month after setting it in Paris.
From Lafayette, Louisiana but representing Sweden in the Summer Games, the pole vaulter catapulted himself into stardom in Paris when he won gold in the men's pole vault while setting the new world record. Even though he already won the Olympic title, he cleared 6.25 meters to cap off the event and had one of the best reactions to making history.
That world record would last only 20 days. At the Silesia Diamond League event in Poland Saturday, Duplantis cleared 6.26 meters to break his own record, and he again had a priceless reaction to his remarkable achievement.
Of course, Duplantis took first place as he continues to dominate.
