— Mondo Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record Monday night at the Paris Olympics, clearing 6.25 meters to cap his second straight gold-medal performance on the sport’s biggest stage.
Duplantis cleared the mark on his third and final try. It marked the ninth time the Louisiana-born 24-year-old, who competes for his mother’s native Sweden, has broken the record, but the first time at the Olympics.
Duplantis last broke the record April 20 in China.
