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.
