Mondo Duplantis: Born to Pole Vault | The Story of a Boy Who Learned to Fly 

And now he has THE world record. Amazing.

New world record twice in a week. I guess he is the highest jumper now.

who's here after 6.17m?

Love to see kids like this who started early and still love the sport they chose!

Well done TODAY Mondo. 6.17 WR. I watched that first, then it was fascinating to watch this. He doesn't seem to muscularly bend the pole, but every part of him knows where the bar is and wraps around it beautifully and quickly. Muscle memory I guess and practising since a young child. I don't know a lot about field sports, but I assume this is considered equal to an outdoor WR. A new era. A new hero.

I really like that while pole vaulters are competitors against eachother, they are still so friendly and kind to one another. They look like a big family of pole vaulting.

mark my words, there'll be a movie about this guy one day

6.18 today! Incredible!!!

He did it! The world record is his.

Arman "Mondo"Duplantis Makes people emotions, like a bird in the sky, flying to the border never reaches its height, and feels its freedom that does not seem to reach its end. Voce from Sweden.

Mondo's mother coaches him also. His parents have done a great job. He is my favorite athlete. However, it will be interesting to see Americans reaction to him jumping for Sweden in Tokyo.

And now he’s the second in the entire world!! Congrats

i think he will made this. He really could be the highest jumper ever

He just won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Man's a legend already

Number one in history now fun to look back at it after that 6.17m clear

AMAZING 6.18 such souplesse he has, love it!

Who's here after he missed 6.19 by a whisker in Tokyo. But surely he's gonna break it in a couple of months ;)

In the interview this guy honestly reminds me of a real life Peter Parker

Olympic Gold medalist and world record holder now

Actually beautiful. I teared up. He is now the best.

His respect for Renand is amazing. He will go far.

New world record 🌎 !!!!! 👏🏻

If ever there is a biography of him, the actor should be Timothee Chamalet

Absolutely amazing!

6'18 in Scotland, made it look simple.

I love you Mondo !!❤😁

Amazing. Good for him. Seems like a good kid. I can recall being in the sport as a runner 25 years ago and knowing the name Sergei Bubka just because he was breaking heights records every meet it seemed. But this kid is 19 years old. Amazing...God bless and keeping breaking through the ceiling

I'm your newest fan and thanks for the memories. Theirs nothing like it!! I'm a 60 year old ex -pole vaulter.

Tack så mycket!

You Are cool And my idol Jsi jako můj brácha. Nevzdáváš se a děláš vše na maximum. Mělo by tě mít za vzor více lidí.

This is a great story.

And best of all, he is such a humble man

and now he is =)

He will hit 20' soon!

6.18 today! OMG

Predicting a 6m30 jump from him before the end of his career

just watch the first 5 seconds. Now here we are... hes 20 years old and has both records indoors and outdoors...

New World Record 6.17m. He did it!

And now he is no 1 :) No surprise!

Very very amazing love him

Whos here after 6.18??? Just magnificent

6.17 and now also 6.18. a legend.

Look at Renaud Lavillene and Mondo side by side and their bodies are almost indistinguishable. It's the new standard for pole vaulting body type, unlike the muscle bound vaulters of earlier days. The new guys have a tremendous power to light body weight ratio allowing them to push a lean physique over amazing heights. Obviously, they are also great athletes. Mondo comes from a family of athletes. His father was an outstanding pole vaulter from Lafayette, Louisiana. His mother was a tremendous volleyball player from Sweden. His brother, Antoine is a baseball player who starred at Louisiana State University's top ranked college team. Mondo was also an excellent soccer and baseball player before choosing the sport he was made for. This kid has only just started with his greatness.

“I definitely want to be the highest jumper ever, for sure” MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Wow, I couldn't turn it off, good luck brother.

I hope you break many World Records

Mondo YOU ARE! YOU ARE NOW!!! :)))

Is there a pole length limit? His pole is so much shorter than the bar. I vaulted when we only had thick aluminium poles.

I ran track all through High school. Pole vault was for the CRAZIES. Very strong and brave. No kidding ,it is reallyscary. Like catching or goal tending.... but worse. This is interesting to learn that they made traing poles for him. Thats like YAMAHA guitars. They made them small fkr kids.
