Let's get to know Armand Duplantis:
Armand Gustav "Mondo" Duplantis (born 10 November 1999) is a Swedish pole vaulter and the current world indoor record holder with a height of 6.18 metres and a world best (outdoor) of 6.15 metres. He won the gold medal at the 2021 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. Duplantis won gold as a 15-year-old in the boys' pole vault at the 2015 World Youth Championships and holds a number of age group world bests. He won the gold medal at the 2018 European Championships with a height of 6.05 metres (a new under-20s world record), and the silver medal at the 2019 World Championships. Duplantis has also won the 2020 Diamond League and the 2021 European Indoor Championships, setting Championship Bests at both.

On 6 March 2021, Duplantis competed at the 2021 European Indoor Championships. He was the overwhelming favourite to win the title after the late withdrawal of Renaud Lavillenie with injury. Duplantis was still tested by Piotr Lisek and Lavillenie's younger brother Valentin who went on to claim bronze and silver respectively - the latter with a personal best. Duplantis however set a new championship record of 6.05 m before making three unsuccessful attempts at 6.19 m, his second narrowly missing the world record

Facts: Pole Vault sport in the Olympics

The pole vault at the Summer Olympics is grouped among the four track and field jumping events held at the multi-sport event. The men's pole vault has been present on the Olympic athletics programme since the first Summer Olympics in 1896. The women's event is one of the latest additions to the programme, first being contested at the 2000 Summer Olympics – along with the addition of the hammer throw, this brought the women's field event programme to parity with the men's.

The Olympic records for the event are 6.03 m (19 ft 9+1⁄4 in) for men, set by Thiago Braz da Silva in 2016, and 5.05 m (16 ft 6+3⁄4 in) for women, set by Yelena Isinbayeva in 2008. Isinbayeva's 2008 mark was a world record at the time and her 2004 victory in 4.91 m (16 ft 1+1⁄4 in) had been the first women's world record in the pole vault to be set at the Olympics. In spite of its longer history, the men's Olympic event has only seen two world record marks – a clearance of 4.09 m (13 ft 5 in) by Frank Foss at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics and Władysław Kozakiewicz's vault of 5.78 m (18 ft 11+1⁄2 in) to win at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.[1]

Yelena Isinbayeva and Bob Richards are the only two athletes to win two Olympic pole vault titles, and also the only two athletes to win more than two Olympic medals in the discipline. The United States is by far the most successful nation in the event, having won 21 gold medals and 49 medals in total. France is the next most successful with three gold medallists.
