Armand Duplantis: The Pole Vault King of Monaco!
Ready for another show? Armand Duplantis, the two-time Olympic and world champion, has once again proven why he’s the master of pole vault! At the Diamond League meeting in Monaco, this athletic wizard cleared the bar set at 6.29 meters—not once, not twice, but three times! Yes, you read that right, three times the bar fell under his jump, but the record remains at his fantastic 6.28 meters from Stockholm last month.
Meeting record? Broken!
Duplantis cleared 6.05 meters, smashing the meeting record previously held by Polish vaulter Piotr Lisek. Just two years ago, at the same venue, he finished fourth with a jump of 5.72 meters. Now? He’s the king of Monaco and has no plans to stop!
Who else was there?
Second place went to Greek athlete Emmanuil Karalis with 5.92 meters, while Australian Curtis Marshall took third with the same result but one failed attempt more. It’s clear Duplantis is way ahead of the competition.
Why does this matter?
Because Duplantis isn’t just breaking records; he’s pushing the limits of what’s possible in athletics. His dominance in the Diamond League sends a clear message: he is the future of pole vault, and no one can stop him.
Will anyone be able to stop him?
For now, it doesn’t look like it. But hey, sports are full of surprises! Maybe someone will soon break his record or at least seriously challenge him. Until then, enjoy the spectacle Duplantis is putting on!
