Mondo Duplantis strikes again, and the Swedish star now holds the 10 best jumps in pole vault history after his latest Diamond League win.
Armand Duplantis is a freak of nature.
Not even one month removed from the Olympic Games Paris 2024, where the Swedish dynamo reset the Olympic and world record for pole vault at 6.25 meters, Mondo broke his own record again Sunday (PHL time).

This time, Duplantis cleared 6.26 meters at the Silesia Diamond League, one-upping the world record.
His incredible jump also means that Mondo now has the 10-best jumps in history.
It was the second-straight Diamond League win for Duplantis post-Paris 2024, as the world no. 1 also bagged the victory in Lausanne one week prior.
Sam Kendricks and Emmanouil Karalis cleared 6.0 meters for second and third, mirroring their Paris 2024 results. Karalis clearing six meters was a career-best, as the Greek pole vaulter now joins the exclusive 6-meter club.
Meanwhile, Filipino star EJ Obiena had to settle for fifth place after clearing 5.82 meters.
