Armand Gustav "Mondo" Duplantis (born 10 November 1999) is a Swedish-American pole vaulter, the current world outdoor and indoor record holder (6.25 metres (20 ft 6 in) and 6.22 metres (20 ft 5 in) respectively), two-time Olympic (2020 and 2024) champion, two-time World outdoor (2022 and 2023) and two-time indoor champion, the current European champion, and the current Diamond League champion. He won the silver medal at the 2019 World Championships. Duplantis is a three-time European champion from 2018, when he set current world under-20 record, and from 2022 and 2024, he is 2022 World Indoor Championship and 2021 European Indoor Championship gold medalist. He is widely considered the greatest pole vaulter of all time.
Duplantis won titles as a 15-year-old at the 2015 World Youth Championships. A year later, he placed third at the World U20 Championships. In 2017, he took the European U20 title, and the following year, World U20 title. Duplantis is also a three-time Diamond League champion.
Both European and World Athletics Male Rising Star of the Year in 2018, two years later he was voted World Male Athlete of the Year. At the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Duplantis won his first Olympic Gold Medal. For his 2022 season, which saw him breaking the world records three times, becoming World outdoor and indoor champion, European and Diamond League champion, and clearing six-metre-plus 22 times, Duplantis was crowned both European and World Male Athlete of the Year. As of February 2023, he has cleared six metres or higher 60 times, the most of any athlete in history.
At various points in his career, Mondo has cleared the nine highest jumps of all time after Renaud Lavillenie jumped a WR 6.16 m (20 ft 2+1⁄2 in) in 2016. Since then, Duplantis has cleared every single height from 6.17m all the way to his current WR of 6.25m, which he did at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris. Duplantis won the gold medal with a jump of 6.00m and broke the world record with a jump of 6.25m in the same final, on his final attempt at the height.
Duplantis is one of only eleven athletes (along with Valerie Adams, Usain Bolt, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jacques Freitag, Yelena Isinbayeva, Kirani James, Faith Kipyegon, Jana Pittman, Dani Samuels, and David Storl) to win world championships at the youth, junior, and senior level of an athletic event.
