The 2023 Prefontaine Classic unfolded with a hoard full of thrill and staunch performances. Along with Shericka Jackson’s 200m winning spree, the Diamond League spectators were also rendered awestruck as they witnessed one of the greatest pole vaulting performances of all time. With his impeccable prowess on the tracks of Eugene, the Swedish pole vaulter, Armand ?Mondo? Duplantis, left his fandom to ponder over his record-breaking performance.?

Sha?Carri Richardson?s favorite person etched a new record at the Diamond League by surpassing his own world record once again. With this, he not only stood atop the podium but also made many heads turn his way by breaking the pole vault world record for the seventh time in his vocation.

In fact, the 23-year-old legend now holds the top seven positions in the global leaderboard. This shows that Mondo is in a class of his own, as nobody can even top his seventh-highest vault.

Mondo?s terrific triumph garnered him a multitude of regards from across the globe. He had previously touched his 6.22-meter record back in February. This made several fans think that the 6.22-meter mark would stay at the top for some time. However, Duplantis had other plans. The Eugene Diamond League triumph marked his third 6.20 meter plus vault as he reset the highest benchmark once again.

Duplantis had earlier earned everyone?s applause at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest with a 6.10-meter vault. The phenomenal youngster now looks towards the grand stage of Paris, as he is all set to deliver yet another record breaking performance in the French capital. The crowd cheered for Mondo as he took home the gold medal and a new world record. Will Armand ?Mondo? shatter his record once again at the 2024 Paris Olympics?

Golden boy Mondo all set for Paris

Mondo has an endless appetite for gold medals. Barring his silver in the 2019 Doha WAC and his bronze in the 2016 World Junior Championship, he?s always been on a winning spree. The impressive record, coupled with his unrivaled performances make him the perfect candidate for the pole vaulting gold medal at Paris.
