We are on the brink of witnessing Armand Mondo Duplantis break another men's pole vault world record. The two-time Olympic champion and pole vault world record holder is gearing up to potentially clear 6.28m, showcasing his exceptional form ahead of the sixth stop of the 2025 Diamond League Series in Oslo.
Barely a few months have passed since Duplantis set the world record for the 11th time with a 6.27m jump in Clermont-Ferrand. Now, the anticipation is building as fans wonder if the Swedish star will achieve another milestone in Oslo or in front of his home crowd in Stockholm.
At a press conference before the Bislett Games, Duplantis expressed his eagerness to perform well in both Oslo and Stockholm, aiming to clear heights over 6.10m and push himself even further. Despite the pressure, he remains confident in his abilities and is prepared to face off against top competitors like Sam Kendricks and Emmanouil Karalis.
With ideal conditions expected for the Bislett Games, Duplantis, known for his resilience and consistency, is looking forward to the challenge. His impressive track record includes a recent victory at the world indoor championships in Nanjing, where he made history by surpassing the six-metre mark multiple times.
Having achieved a season-best outdoor mark of 6.11m in Shanghai/Keqiao, Duplantis is determined to maintain his momentum leading up to the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. All eyes are on him as he aims to secure his third consecutive championship title.
