Track and field superstar Armand Duplantis once again proved why he is widely regarded as the greatest pole vaulter of his generation after setting *his 15th world record* with a stunning jump of 6.31 metres.

The historic moment came during the Mondo Classic indoor meet in Uppsala, Sweden, where the Olympic and world champion cleared the record height in front of a home crowd, surpassing his previous world record of 6.30m.

Duplantis delivered a flawless performance throughout the competition, successfully clearing 5.65m, 5.90m and 6.08m before raising the bar to the new record mark.

15 World Records and Counting

This latest achievement marks the 15th time Duplantis has broken the pole vault world record* since first rewriting the mark in 2020, underlining his remarkable dominance in the event.

The Swedish star has developed a unique pattern of improving his own record by just one centimetre at a time, gradually pushing the limits of the sport while maintaining his position at the very top of global athletics.

At just 26 years old, Duplantis has already built an extraordinary resume that includes Olympic gold medals, world championship titles and numerous Diamond League victories.

No Rival in Sight

Despite strong competition from top vaulters around the world, Duplantis continues to dominate the discipline. At the same meet, Norway’s Sondre Guttormsen finished second after clearing 6.00m, while several other elite athletes cleared 5.90m.

The record-breaking performance further cements Duplantis’ reputation as the undisputed king of pole vault, with many experts believing he could eventually push the world record even higher -- possibly beyond 6.40 metres in the future.

For now, however, one thing remains certain: whenever Duplantis steps onto the runway, the athletics world expects history to be made.
