Mondo Duplantis Blazes New World Pole Vault Record at Wanda Diamond League Meet in Xiamen”.

In Xiamen, China, Mondo Duplantis kicked off the 2024 Wanda Diamond League season with an incredible performance. The 24-year-old Swedish athlete cleared a new world pole vault record of 6.24m on his first attempt, surpassing his previous record set in Eugene last year.

Speaking about his experience in China, Duplantis expressed his excitement at getting his season underway in a new location. He had recently won the world indoor title in Glasgow with a clearance of 6.10m. With over three months left before he defends his Olympic title in Paris, Duplantis is in top form, having opened his outdoor season with a six-meter clearance only once before in Doha in 2022.

This latest world record is the eighth of Duplantis’ career so far, with his first record of 6.17m set in Torun in 2020. The record-setting performance in Xiamen is yet to be officially ratified but showcases Duplantis’ incredible talent and skill in the pole vault event.

Duplantis has been dominating the sport for years now and it’s no surprise that he has broken yet another world record. His consistency and dedication to the sport are evident from this impressive feat.

As we look forward to the rest of the season, it’s clear that Duplantis will be a force to be reckoned with. With three months left until Paris, he’s showing no signs of slowing down and we can expect him to continue breaking records and winning medals.

In conclusion, Mondo Duplantis’ latest performance at Xiamen was nothing short of extraordinary. He continues to push himself beyond limits and set new standards for the sport of pole vaulting.
