“It’ll be one of the greatest memories of my career,” the 25-year-old said. “They etch the names of world record holders here. It’s going to be special to have mine up there.” These were the words of Armand Duplantis after he created yet another world record in men’s pole vault on June 16, 2025 in Stockholm.
The Swede has established himself as one of the greatest athletes of all time. Reaching new heights, quite literally, has been ingrained in him. At 25, Armand Duplantis is a two-time Olympic (Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024) champion, a two-time World outdoor (2022 and 2023) champion and a three-time World indoor (2022, 2024 and 2025) champion. He is also the current European champion.
Let us have a look all the 12 world records created by Armand Duplantis in men’s pole vault.
- 6.17m – Torun, Poland | February 8, 2020
At just 20 years old, Armand Duplantis introduced himself to the world stage with a gravity-defying clearance in Torun, Poland, breaking Renaud Lavillenie’s long-standing record of 6.16m. On his second attempt, he soared into a new realm — and into the record books.
- 6.18m – Glasgow, UK | February 15, 2020
One week later, he stunned again, this time at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix in Glasgow. He cleared 6.18m on his first attempt — smooth, confident, fearless. The buzz surrounding the young phenom had turned into full-blown awe.
- 6.19m – Belgrade, Serbia | March 7, 2022
For two years, 6.19m haunted him. “I must have had 50 attempts,” he admitted. But in Belgrade, the vault finally stuck — on his third try. The bar wobbled but held. So did the belief that Duplantis was only getting started.
- 6.20m – Belgrade, Serbia | March 20, 2022
Two weeks later, back in the same arena, he went higher still — with the World Indoor title on the line. On his third attempt, he cleared 6.20m and captured both the gold and a new global mark. In one night, he silenced doubters and cemented his reputation as pole vault’s ultimate showman. One of his memorable world records.
- 6.21m – Eugene, USA | July 24, 2022
The World Championships in Oregon brought more history. Armand Duplantis became the first man to break the pole vault world record outdoors in 28 years — since Sergey Bubka’s 6.14m in 1994. His 6.21m leap earned him his first outdoor world title.
- 6.22m – Clermont-Ferrand, France | February 25, 2023
His 2023 indoor campaign saw big efforts in Uppsala and Berlin — but Clermont-Ferrand became the charm. On his third attempt, Duplantis sailed over 6.22m, claiming his sixth world record in the heart of pole vault country.
- 6.23m – Eugene, USA | September 17, 2023
Back at Hayward Field for the Diamond League Final, Duplantis delivered another masterpiece. First attempt. Perfect execution. With his family watching, he cleared 6.23m and ran into their arms — the crowd in stunned celebration.
- 6.24m – Xiamen, China | April 20, 2024
The 2024 outdoor season started as the last one ended — with a new world record. In Xiamen, he vaulted 6.24m on his second attempt after perfect first tries at 5.62m, 5.82m, and 6.00m. No other athlete even cleared six metres that day.
- 6.25m – Paris, France | August 8, 2024
Under the lights of Stade de France during the Paris Olympics, Duplantis turned a boyhood dream into reality. After clinching gold with 6.00m and resetting the Olympic record with 6.10m, he broke the world record on his third attempt at 6.25m — on the sport’s biggest stage.
