(UPDATE) HERZOGENAURACH, Germany — Pole vault world-record holder Armand "Mondo" Duplantis believes he can push the pole-vault world record (WR) to 6.40 meters (m) in the next few years, the athlete said in a conversation with Puma CEO Arne Freundt, which was released as a part of the sports company's annual report.
When it comes to pole vaulting, Mondo is in a league of his own, having won two Olympic gold medals, two world championships, breaking the world record 11 times and being crowned World Athlete of the Year twice. Even though he just set the world record to 6.27 meters earlier this year, the Swedish athlete has his sights on raising the bar to 6.40 meters in the future.
