Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis set a new pole vault world record, clearing 6.22m in winning the All Star Perche 2023 event in Clermont-Ferrand, France, on Saturday (25 February).
The athletics superstar continues to take the discipline of pole vault to new levels. The Swede has now broken the world record for the sixth time in his young career.
The 23-year-old was immediately embraced by Renaud Lavillenie, the man whose record he first broke back in 2020 and who is a co-founder of the All Star Perche event.
The indoor and outdoor world record-holder has won Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020 in 2021, a world indoor title, and is also the European indoor and outdoor champion.
