Mondo Duplantis Sets 11th Pole Vault World Record at 6.27 Meters

The Swedish Olympic champion achieved the feat at the All Star Perche meet in France, accompanied by the debut of his new single.

Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis cleared 6.27 meters on his first attempt, surpassing his previous world record of 6.26 meters set in August 2024.
The record-breaking jump occurred at the All Star Perche meet in Clermont-Ferrand, France, where Duplantis also secured first place with a 6.07-meter clearance before raising the bar.
This marks the 11th time Duplantis has broken the pole vault world record since his first in February 2020, consistently improving by one-centimeter increments.
Duplantis' debut single, 'Bop,' played in the stadium during his historic jump, a detail he said added to the moment’s significance.
The event also saw six athletes clear 5.91 meters or higher, the most ever in a single competition, with Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis setting a national record of 6.02 meters.
