Paris, France—Sweden’s Armand Duplantis improved his own world record en route to retaining his Olympic pole vault title in Paris on Monday.
The gold meant Duplantis became the first man to retain the pole vault title since American Bob Richards in 1952 and 1956. The music halted as he leaned down to ring the victory bell, capping yet another exceptional display from the irrepressible 24-year-old. Philippines’ Ernest John Obiena competes in the men’s pole vault final of the athletics event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, on August 5, 2024. Duplantis then cleared 5.85m in his second vault of the night by a considerable margin.That proved too much for the rest of the field as Australian Kurtis Marschall, Turkey’s Ersu Sasma, Ernest John Obiena of the Philippines and Karalis fell by the wayside.
