Mondo Duplantis Still Has It: Men's Pole Vault World Records Since 1994

Armand "Mondo" Duplantis keeps getting better, and it's never been more obvious than the men's pole vault competition at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

In front of a huge crowd at Stade de France in Paris on Aug. 5, Duplantis, 24, made history again with a vault of 6.25m.

The Swiss track and field star broke his own record of 6.24m. But then again, he broke his own record eight times before that, too.

Establishing himself as inarguably the greatest pole vaulter ever, Duplantis has now broken the world pole vault record nine times since Feb. 2014.

Here's a look at the world record holders in men's pole vault.
