Armand "Mondo" Duplantis (born November 10, 1999 in Lafayette , Louisiana ) is an American - Swedish athlete who specializes in the pole vault . He holds the world records in this discipline both outdoors and indoors. In the hall he was initially the world record holder since February 8, 2020 with 6.17 m and increased to 6.18 m on February 15, 2020. Outdoors he jumped 6.15 m on September 17, 2020. However, World Athletics counts his 6.18 m pole jump in the hall as the only world record in the pole vault.

Personal

Duplantis attended Lafayette High School (LHS) in the city of the same name in Louisiana . In November 2017, he decided to start studying at Louisiana State University from the summer of 2018 , which his parents and brother had already attended.

Athletic career

Armand Duplantis, often nicknamed "Mondo", was born with his athletic talent, because his father was a 5.80 meter jumper and his mother was a heptathlete and volleyball player at Louisiana State University (LSU). At the age of four and five he jumped on the sofa in his living room with a small stick and set his first world record at the age of seven. At thirteen, Duplantis already held seven age group records.

2015

At the age of 15, Duplantis was U18 youth world champion in Cali with a championship record of 5.30 m . In 2016, he finished 3rd at the U20 World Championships in Bydgoszcz with 5.45 m.

2017

At the beginning of the year, Duplantis set several world records. On January 7, he skipped the LSU High School Indoor Classic in Baton Rouge ( Louisiana ) in the third attempt, first 5.52 m, which he broke his own national high school record, and then 5.61 meters to cross, which also set a new Swedish U20 Record meant and came close to the U20 record of 5.68 m set by Raphael Holzdeppe in 2008 in Halle (Saale) . At the LSU Last Chance High School Inviational in Baton Rouge (Louisiana) on February 4, Duplantis broke his own record again when he mastered 5.65 m in the second attempt and then set a new U20 indoor world record with 5.72 m Raphael Holzdeppe took over. On February 11th, at the Millrose Games in New York City , he climbed another 3 centimeters in his first attempt and set the indoor world record to 5.75 m. Duplantis added another indoor world record on March 11 with 5.82 m at the New Balance Nationals Indoor (National Scholastic Indoor Championships - NSIC) in Fort Washington Avenue Armory (The Armory) of New York City , beating Maxim Tarasov's in 1989 U20 world record of 5.80 m set up and leveled by Raphael Holzdeppe in 2008. This height was not only the Swedish indoor record held by Alhaji Jeng with 5.81 m, but also a world record for the year.

At the 90th  Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin (Texas) on April 1, Duplantis set another U20 world record with a world annual best of 5.90 m outdoors and exceeded the previous Swedish outdoor record held by Oscar Janson in the adult class by three centimeters . The French Renaud Lavillenie crossed the 5.90 m at the age of 22, Serhij Bubka at the age of 21. Duplantis made his debut at an IAAF Diamond League meeting on May 27 in Eugene (Oregon) at the Prefontaine Classic , where he finished fourth with 5.71 m. In Italian Grosseto Duplantis was with championship record of 5.65m U20 European champion . At the World Championships in London , he finished 9th.

2018

On January 12th, Duplantis increased his own U20 indoor world record by eight centimeters to 5.83 m at the Pole Vault Summit in Reno (Nevada) . The amount is not included in the IAAF record lists. The length of the crossbar holders used on the pole vaulting facility were not compliant with the rules, not even for a Swedish national record, but the jump is considered a new high school record because of the dual citizenship in the USA. At the pole vault meeting in Clermont-Ferrand on February 25, 2018, Duplantis crossed heights of 5.81 m and 5.88 m, which were later ratified by the IAAF as U20 indoor world records, with which he beat Greek Emmanouil Karalis (5.78 m) at the top of the Ewigen U20 leaderboard. At the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham , he finished seventh with skipped 5.70 m. In the spring, outdoor jumps of 5.92 m in Austin (Texas) and 5.93 m in Baton Rouge followed . After a second place in Eugene , he achieved his first victory in the Diamond League in Stockholm with 5.86 m. After two more Diamond League appearances in Paris and Lausanne , he won the gold medal at the U20 World Championships in Tampere . With a 5.82 m and 27 cm lead over the runner-up Zachary Bradford , he set a new championship record.

At the European Championships in Berlin , Duplantis became European champion with a jump height of 6.05 m, setting a world best for the year. He improved his previous U20 world record of 5.93 m three times in the first attempt. He had reached fifth place on the all-time best list. Only Renaud Lavillenie , Serhij Bubka , Steve Hooker and Sam Kendricks ever jumped higher, of them only Bubka and Kendricks outdoors.

2019

At the World Championships in Doha he won the silver medal with 5.97 m and only had to admit defeat to Sam Kendricks , as the old and new world champions had fewer failed attempts at the same height.

2020

On February 4, Duplantis increased its personal best in the hall to 6.00 m at the PSD Bank Meeting in Düsseldorf . Four days later he set a new world record with 6.17 m at the Orlen Copernicus Cup in Toruń , also in the hall . On February 15, 2020, he improved his own world record to 6.18 m in the Emirates Arena in Glasgow. During the Covid-19 pandemic , he competed in the long-distance competition called Ultimate Garden Clash on May 3, and shared the victory with Renaud Lavillenie . On June 11, he started in Oslo at the Bislett Games, which were held as Impossible Games due to the pandemic, in the Diamond League program and, after Pål Haugen Lillefosse and Simen Guttormsen were eliminated, he won 5.86 m against Lavillenie, who competed again on his home course and Reached 5.81 m. On September 17, Duplantis improved Serhij Bubka's 26-year-old outdoor record by jumping 6.15 m at the Diamond League meeting in Rome .

family

His Swedish mother emigrated to the USA, which is why Duplantis has dual citizenship. He chose the right to start for Sweden in order not to have to go through the US eliminations . His siblings Andreas, Antoine and Johanna also practice or did pole vault. Therefore, he is not the only world record holder in the family, because his sister Johanna, who is three years younger than him, holds the unofficial age group record for six-year-olds (1.62 m) and seven-year-olds (1.98 m).
