Armand Duplantis, the 25-year-old pole vault sensation, stunned the crowd at Stockholm's Olympic Stadium on Sunday by setting a new world record of 6.28 meters! This milestone, marking his 12th record-breaking feat, was extra special as he achieved it in front of his home fans. 🙌
After clearing 6.00 meters, Duplantis didn't settle for his meet record of 6.16; he went straight for the global record. The sellout crowd erupted as his celebration—ripping off his shirt and pumping his fist—captured the pure joy of this historic moment. ⚡
Reflecting on the achievement, Duplantis said, "It’s a magical feeling. I wanted it so bad. I kept saying it was the only thing I was missing. Now, I’m done. I can just chill."
