Duplantis Breaks His Own World Record With 6.31m Vault
Pole vault sensation Armand Duplantis once again rewrote the history books by setting a new world record with a 6.31-meter vault at the Mondo Classic in Uppsala, Sweden. The mark represents the 15th world record of his remarkable career and improves his previous global record by one centimeter.
Duplantis, a two-time Olympic champion and one of the most dominant athletes in modern track and field, cleared the height on his first attempt, sparking a huge ovation from the crowd and admiration from fellow competitors. The new mark surpasses the 6.30 meters he achieved in September 2025 during the World Championships in Tokyo.
Since February 2020, when he broke the record previously held by Renaud Lavillenie with a 6.17-meter jump in Torun, Poland, Duplantis has maintained complete control of the event. His extraordinary record includes 130 international victories, highlighted by an active streak of 50 consecutive wins. He has not lost a competition since July 21, 2023, a level of dominance rarely seen in the sport.
His list of achievements is equally impressive. Duplantis captured Olympic gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, while also collecting multiple world titles both indoors and outdoors. He has also established himself as the leading figure in the Diamond League circuit with numerous victories.
The Swedish star’s approach to breaking records has drawn significant attention in the athletics world. Duplantis often improves the mark centimeter by centimeter, a strategy that is both technically calculated and financially beneficial. According to reports, World Athletics awards approximately $100,000 for each new world record, turning every new milestone into a major moment in the athletics calendar.
At just 26 years old, Duplantis continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in pole vaulting. With each competition, the Swedish superstar raises the bar — literally — in a discipline where his dominance still appears far from reaching its limit.
