His rise to fame can be traced back to 2015, when he made waves at the World Youth Championships in Cali, Colombia. There he set the championship record of 5.30 meters. And too, as a high school freshman. And he looks keen on expanding his winning ways in 2025.

Last year was such a great experience jumping in front of the Chinese crowds,” reflecting on his past experience. After all, the energy from the crowd pushed him to a world-record performance.

He added, “Let’s make another incredible memory together!” In 2025, everything rests on his relationship with supporters that could become his wings to another victory. Duplantis is going for his fifth Wanda Diamond League title in a row, which would put him in the history books right up there with the legends of the sport.

He could also make history as only the second male pole vaulter to win three World Championship gold medals in a single year. What makes Duplantis stand out is that unstoppable drive that led to his record-breaking jump at the Paris Olympics.
