At the Mondo Classic held at IFU Arena, Swedish pole vaulter Armand Duplantis achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new world record of 6.31 meters. This event marked the fifth edition of Mondo Classic, and it was the first time Duplantis successfully broke a world record at his own pole vault gala. The atmosphere was heightened as Duplantis walked out to the music of his recent single 'Feelin’ myself', showcasing the blend of sport and entertainment.

Prior to the event, there was anticipation regarding the competitive level of the world's elite pole vaulters, with many stating that the overall talent pool has never been higher. Emmanouil Karalis of Greece recently achieved a remarkable height of 6.17 meters, which equaled Duplantis's first world record set in 2020. The stakes were high, but Duplantis's confidence was palpable as he entered the competition, aiming not just to perform but to set a new benchmark for his sport.

With this accomplishment, Duplantis not only solidified his status as a superstar in athletics but also marked his 15th career world record and second on Swedish soil. The event illustrated how Duplantis continues to inspire the next generation of athletes while pushing the limits of what is possible in pole vaulting, further establishing the excitement and prestige around the Mondo Classic.
