the bbc graphic showed he cleared it at 6.29 meters which is just nuts
What does pole vaulting have to do with nuts?
@@zielaq87 If you land on the pole, you'll have no nuts...
@@TheSchmuel hahahahahahahaha!!
@@TheSchmuel that's nuts
You need nuts to pole vault over the height of a 2 story building.
And he cleared it with a good bit of room too, he’s bound to do it again
The real hight was 6:29
There is a prime whenever he break a wr, so he do it bit by bit to get all the primes lol. Can’t blame it, plus it’s a good show every time !
@@mynameisschezuanno the real height was 6.24. That’s how much he cleared. Just cuz he got more over it doesn’t make that a “real height”
@@RuneVolpehey everybody needs money he’s just making use of the contract he was given 🤷♂️ plus gets his name in the record books more
@@q12aw50 im not blaming him, I’d rather have a good perf every few months constantly, for the spectacle, than one 6m30 and then nothing
He’s going to set another WR at the Olympics
Oh, I bloody hope so!
I don't think most people realize just how dominant this is! I most meets he is figuratively "lapping the field". Most meets there isn't even another vaulter clearing 6.00m and he's able to clear 25cm(about 1 foot for us in the US) or over 3% higher than anyone else. That would be like someone in the 100m winning with a 9.6 while second place got a 9.9. Or in a 400m someone winning with 43 flat and winning by a second and a half every race!
It's just ridiculous how much better he is than any other vaulter ever!
Yep. Poor Sam Kendricks is always competing for second place whenever Mondo is in the same meet.
25 cm is 9.8 inches. I’m from the US and know both the English and the metric system.
More problematic is that he is also just gaming the meet award system .......as he is not going to max out on the WR, but instead holds back so that he can break the WR again at another meet that awards those that break a WR at their meet.........these meet sponsors for leagues need to rethink how to award prize money when it comes to setting WRs.........so that it discourages this kind of hold back from maxing out........the reason I see this as a problem in my humble opinion is what if this guy gets seriously hurt or sick at some point? Then we will never really know just how high this guy could have pushed himself and what the WR could have really been under his reign...........anyway, thats my take....perhaps the prize money should be awarded by how much your break the record by...meaning the higher percentage you beat the old record by the higher the prize money goes........just a thought.......
@@DIPPLEDORP I don't think in this context it matters that you're from the U.S. I now live in Canada and also from the U.S. A simple search for and use of a conversion calculator can give anyone an exact conversion. 😉
I kinda completely agree with you but it is important to understand that we are here in a really weird position. Firstly because Mondo knows 9 times out of 10 that I will only compete against himself so the spectator knows also after the first jump. To that extent I can do wathever he wants, try to jump high or juste secure the and we can’t blame him for that. Secondly and more importantly, this is the only discipline where the athletes can choose which record he wants to break, it’s not even part of the competition, it becomes a show. Duplantis can do that and almost try to break a wr at every important meeting and he is the only one… to conclude, you can’t change the rules just for the goat of a specific discipline
Records are meant to be broken, but this is the kind of prodigy that makes you genuinely wonder if anyone will be able to surpass when he's finished. 😳
That's what was said of Bubka 30 years ago.
He is the Bolt of Pole Vault, he is miles apart from other pole vaulters
Yes but it took many years also.
@@SuperHammaren Yes...and it happened. Cornelis Warmderdam held the world records at 15-7.75 (outdoor) and 15-8.5 (indoor) for over 15 years, but they were broken, too. As will Mondo's.
@@kurtfrancis4621 I think much longer than that -of course not saying never. Mens long jump, when will that be broken you think (only broken once(or did Carl Lewis so it too?) since 68 in approved conditions)?, womens long jump, 400m for ladies? Or mens high jump or the triple jump? 800m for ladies or ladies high jump? Ladies 100m , 200m.. Ladies decathlon.. mens hammer.. It is like 30 years or more for all of them I think and little prospects of those records being broken still. It can last very long. It takes an extreme talent (someone like Bubka coming along again) and Mondo is at least as good as the ones holding those records with respect to the competition at the time -pushing the boundarys considerably. But future will tell, the discus record was broken recently-in extreme conditions but still.. new pole material is a factor.
watched the swedish broadcast and in the interview, what struck me was the fact that he was so casual about it, almost like he didn't really expect to break the record so easily. the clearance height was 6.29 and he made it look like it was nothing.
he has like 5 more events before the Olympics. wouldn't be surprised if he breaks the record at least once before we even get to the Olympics. crazy.
He is such a great athlete!
Probably he jumped over this hight in training already a few times.
He’s probably cleared that height in practice enough times to be comfortable and confident that he can perform in a competition.
The story was that Bubka set his WRs by the smallest increments possible because the Soviet/Russian federations paid him a huge bonus for each one. Now that Duplantis has similar capabilities and performance margins above his competitors, he seems to be doing the same thing.
Cuz he also gets big paychecks for each wr
World athletics pays 100k USD for each ratified WR. Plus many athletes have bonuses I’m in their endorsement deals for WRs or Olympic medals
Something tells me he clears 6.30 at practice but limits himself to 1 cm improvements of the WR to collect more cheques, just luke Bubka did before him. It would be commercially expedient to do so.
That said, he is in a class of his own. Phenomenal talent!!
This is my exact theory, it's like he's clearing these heights too effortlessly for this not to be the case. But it's also insane to think😂😂
Clearing 6.30 in Paris in front of the Worlds would be so fucking legendary tho.
Isinbayeva did the exact same thing
Just watched it live on the BBC. The TV director was still concentrating cameras on Arop's 800m win and just switched the cameras to Duplantis in time. Armondo nearly caught everyone out.
This dude literally in another atmosphere for himself in the pole vault competition.
I remember Bubka very well, breaking his WR at will. Duplantis is the same. No competition at all. They are geniuses.
He got a bonus for each WR so he magically rationed them by only going up by small margins 😁
Bubka, yes, and I thought his record would last for a long time. Bubka is still a legend, though his record was broken some time ago.
Damn!! this guy is good 🥰🥰 opening his outdoor season with a world record🎉🎉🎉
This guy is something else! Did not expect that so early in the season, but you could see he was feeling good today so why not go for it! New world record, again. Well done champ! Greatest of all time!
What is it about his technique/skills that make him so much better than everyone else?
Dudes got a great money roll going with all these WR bonuses in diamond leagues
Thankful to Wanda too. 👍
I honestly have a theory that Mondo can go much higher. Like up to 6.40m, but he purposefully holds back so he can break the record over and over lol
@@anyomations3997 I agree 💯
Just greatness from him.
Back in 2011 or 2012 I was at the Pole Vault Summit in Reno NV and Mondo broke the world record in the 12 year old boys division (jumped around 12 feet 9 inch if my memory serves me right). I congratulated him and said he would do great things in the future. He said with great enthusiasm that his ultimate goal was to win gold at the Olympics some day. I said it looked to me like he would be the guy to take down Bubka's world record - he just beamed from ear to ear and said that was too amazing to even dream about! Well, Renaud beat him to Bubka's record and it took 6 years for Mondo to surpass Renaud's amazing jump - but from that day onward the rest of the field has just been happy to share the runway with such an amazing athlete!
12'9"??? 🤨🤔 Is America in 2024?! 😊...
What make it so fascinating he clear it with room to spear.that's crazy. No joke
spare*
@@herrweiss2580no no, this is a new discipline hoping to get recognized in time before the Paris Olympics. The pole spear vault throw. Name is still up for debate. As are the safety guidelines...
@@Magnusfication
I did hear about the ‘Lanky Javelin’.
Duplantis is THE GOAT‼️🔥🔥🔥
Not true, still has to be the world champion for straight 14 years to equal the GOAT, Sergey Bubka.
swedish goat genes
That was one of those 1 in a 1000 jumps. It was perfect.
He's not only incredible.. he's smart. He knows by breaking his own WR by 1 cm at a time, gives him the best chance of surpassing the amount of Bubka's WR setting performances.
If he does, that means he'll eventually be in he 6.30m + range. I don't doubt he'll do it.... we're witnessing history here.👏👏👏
True that. I think Bubka did the same... Good for fans and for prize money
No he does it for the same reason Bubka does. He needs money. He gets a big paycheck for every wr
@@andrewjennings2362 Exactly. 👍
He will likely miss out on setting a true PB WR by maximizing profit, but can’t blame him, he’s a 21st century Bubka 2.0
Precise comparision 😊👍
Duplantis just eats WRs for breakfast
6.25 next week at Shanghai?
Magnificent athlete. He has a cat like quality as he clears the bar. I can’t wait to see what he does at the olympics.
this just amazes me...
i pole vaulted in high school & one year in college
(injury ended my career - missed the pit, broke 3 bones in my foot and bone chips in ankle)
in 1971 i set our high school record of 14 ft. the world record was 17' 8" indoors and 18' outdoors at the time.
the fact that it has risen by nearly 2 1/2 feet is unbelievable. Mondo and Bubka alone moved it up well over one foot (combined)
Wow wow wow unbelievable 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So good to see sports other than running getting the same great coverage on your channel.
Yeah but the pole vault isn't sexy! Very few people know who the world record holder in the pole vault is but EVERYONE knows who holds the record for the 100m dash!
Let’s be real - if he were a Jamaican sprinter or an American swimmer - he be getting in top 10 all time in the history athletes lists. He has to be as good at his discipline as Bolt & Phelps were….. but it’s pole vault. Most people haven’t even heard of him. Heights that others fight each other over for 2nd place - he clears like it’s a warmup. I can barely think of something more difficult than the pole vault. I can run very slowly. I can swim very slowly. I can throw a shot put not far. I could probably throw a javelin not far - I literally couldn’t use a pole to get off the ground at all 😂😂 1 of the greatest track and field athletes ever
Well that’s not true… he’s slowly getting there.. look for Bubka as reference - he is widely considered by many as one of the top 10 greatest track and field athletes in history. While my fellow country man, Mondo, is brilliant in pole vault, he hasn’t surpassed the GOAT that is Bubka. I hope he will
I think he is a US dual citizen. He grew up and competed mostly in the US and has been very well known in the US track community for some time (I've heard about him and his older brother- a very good vaulter for LSU- since I was in college in the mid 2010s).
@@coreyevans835 well known in the track and field world for sure - but just regular people? Casual sports fans? Much much less. Everyone knows Bolt everyone knows Phelps - this guy in my opinion - is in that class of athlete - or certainly will be when he retires
Or it’s just a boring sport compared to sprinting and swimming
@@anniasthamajius9927 boring. Far less popular. Dad less participation. It has a lot going against it when compared to running & swimming - but he is as good at pole vault then anyone else has ever been at their Olympic sport
The technique is flawless.
For several years now, he s been the most dominant athlete of its sport I can think about
He s just miles ahead of every concurrent, that's not something common in modern competition
Because it's a NICHE sport! Everyone runs, almost everyone swims, but who uses a pole to vault. The only person I knew who pole vaulted was Aladdin and Abu!😅😊
Subbed a couple weeks ago and now for some reason I'm training for a marathon... this channel is a good influence.
He is truly something else at this age.
one of a kind ....in each sport there at least one nowadays . In Darts , there is a 17 year old who is just breathtakingly good at such a young age .
@@BlueHopi144Luke Litter what a guy for real
It’s crazy the 2000s gen are a serious bunch when it comes to sports
@@BlueHopi144eh I don’t think age really affects darts.
You could be like 50 and hit your prime or be like 12.
@@q12aw50 age can affect darts quality level .....
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 indeed
Congratulations, once again!
Grattis Mondo!
He’s actually from Louisiana with a Cajun father and Swedish mother. He decided to compete for Sweden because they offered him so much more than the US.
Is that right? I heard it was because he was "honoring" his mother.
He may have been honoring his mother, but believe me, he received many more benefits from the Swedes. Plus, he’s a “rock star” over there whereas in the US, he’d be able to walk most anywhere and not be recognized. Overall, he made the best decision for himself.
@@liberty5069 🤷♂
And we love him here in Sweden😊
@@liberty5069You know so much. Much more than his father who have told openly about that talk he had with his son about which country he wanted to represent. You must be something to laugh at, ooops , to admire. Ofcourse.
Watching in slow motion his technique as he climbs and pushes off the pole all the way up to the bar is amazing.
I know, it was almost as if he were CLIMBING up the last few feet of the pole before he finally let go of it.
This isn't just pole- vaulting, this is a hair- raising version of mountaineering.
I cleared seven feet in middle school. Three times that is just inconceivable for me, but then, fifty years ago, we used just a bamboo pole, that simply couldn't store the kind of potential energy that these high- tech poles now can.
One of those bamboo poles broke half- way up and sent the broken end clean through the cheek of a friend of mine.
1) didn't tuch the bar.
2) first atempt.
3) seson opener.
4) wett tracks
Or am I missing something!
8 times vs 17 times
Congratulation, looks fantastic.🏆
This is just beautiful to watch!
IIRC Bubka said in an interview that while training he jumped over 6.30m. A true legend.
It was the perfect setup because he was in good form on early jumps and didn't have to make many jumps to win. It would be tougher to hit a WR if you had to make a dozen attempts earlier in competition.
that’s crazy
He’s pure box office, a once in a lifetime athlete
Is he really? once in a lifetime athlete? It's hard to say because it's such a niche sport
In HS in LA in 1968 fibreglass poles were owned/expensive so my track team friend had a bamboo pole. Placed well with it, too.
This man shows he is the GOAT in pole vault
like other sports persons such as Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Messi, IBRAHIMOVIC, Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, LeBron James, Koby, Jokic, Peter Gade, Lee Chong Wei, Lin Dan,Taufik in their respective fields..
Just incredible!!!!
Awesome awesome. GOAT.👏👏👏
I'm not saying Sergey did steriods or HGH but back in the 80s testing was poorly done and many athletes did so and never got caught. Having said that Mondo is the GOAT in pole vaulting. We don't need to wait for more accomplishment from him to say otherwise...just one man's opinion.
I really hope that he will break another time the WR this year
So next 6.25m ?
@@szymon6207 yeah, next week in Shanghai 🤞
At least 6.28 after season...
Да, он таки крут. Поздравляю!
Fantastisch
Congratulations 🎊🎉 😊💝
Absolutely insane
Just incredible 👍😮
What blows my mind is how much shorter his pole is compared to the heights he's clearing!
He's literally launching himself more and more upward...what looks to me at least three feet higher after he releases the bar. Amazing.
very informative🎉
It looked like his technique went slanted and had a lot of room on the bar left which tells me he could go a lot higher there in general.
It's like watching poetry in motion. I don't know if the casual fan knows just how difficult pole vaulting is. I can't wait to see more of his jumps. He truly is a remarkable athlete.
Let's gooooo!!!
Thats a crazy record
Correction, from the USA...vaulting for Sweden.
Yes, US deserves a lot of credit, however he has a Swedish mother and speaks Swedish... so more like 50/50....
Armand is half swedish, half american. His brother Andreas was a pole vaulter too and represented Sweden so Greg and Armand joined the swedish athlete team when Armand was 14-15 years old. Fun fact: The third brother Antoine joined the swedish baseball team and their sister Johanna wants to compete for Sweden in pole vault, too!
No one cares
His mother is Swedish and his girlfriend is Swedish. To claim he is American is just wrong. If a half Swede half American was competing for America I would not enter chat and say he is Swedish. he is 50/50 so he is not American. He is Swedish American.
I vaulted through collegiate D1 level and was in awe of Bubka's records. It seems like they were unbeatable, especially since it was probable that Bubka may have had some help in the performance department. To see Mondo lighting up these bars is insane. I think he could potentially clear 21' give a perfect jump.
He is the GOAT! There used to be no argument.
Wow wow wow👏😀
Never heard anyone call 1cm a 1/4 inch. It's closer to 1/2. (More like 0.4 but I guess decimalising an imperial unit is pretty weird)
Insane!
Continue to set standard HE IS THE GREATEST POLE VAULTER OF ALL TIME 👑
G.O.A.T
The best of the best
Field events going crazy recently
This early in the season is too crazy
Mondo is still about 10 years younger than Bubka when Bubka was breaking Records. Oh ya, All of Mondo's Records are higher than Bubkas!
Armand DuPlantis the untouchable...... GOAT
This is scary good! Mondo just did this in his opening outdoor season! The hunt is on for second place for everyone else I guess!😏
What must it feel like? CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Amazing. Also, slow motion pole vaulting always makes me anxious because I've seen enough fail videos
Duplantis is not human I swear
You’re right, he’s not.
He’s THE 🐐.
@@ugoeze7360 perfect response!
Also, a record for the longest time it takes to drop onto the mat.
The ragin cajun is already on a roll, and the season just started.
"If you are competing against DuPlantis this year, you should be very, very scared.". With all due respect to the excellent pole vault competitors, I don't think they have really felt they were competing against Mondo for several years now. It is a battle for second place.
Just look at the results. He won the meet in 3 vaults. The 4th was just for the record. That speaks to his confidence as much as his capabilities.
Just watched his interview where he said he want to show the crowd what he is capable of since it’s his first time competing in China.
Armand Duplantis is from Sweden like I'm from Ireland on St. Patrick's Day! He's from Lafayette, Louisiana and went to LSU. His mother's Swedish, but his dad's American; he grew up here, was educated here, and still trains here. Swedish my eye.
He is is Sweden half of the year. He is 50/50 so he is not American. He is Swedish American.
@kingwacky184 He basically vacations in Uppsala, part of the year. He was born, raised, educated, coached, and developed as history's preeminent pole vaulter in the US. I would be willing to bet he doesn't want to pay his income taxes in Sweden.
Not only that, but in recent days he became Emperor in Dune 2
Make a video bout Courtney lindsey and Tebogo 19.71s Kip keino classic
Incontestablement il sera la grande star des jeux olympiques de Paris
I could watch that all day haha
What the hack??? He broke it again🤯
He is the greatest pole vaulted of all time at 26. He is from Lafayette Louisiana and competed at LSU.
He’s 24
Mondo will definitely reach 6.30m in his career
I think he reaches 6.30 by the olympics
He is in scintillating form now as im 2022 when he broke 3 WRs with margin to spare. I expect more WRs from him in 2024 if he keeps his form up. Perhaps 6.25m next week in Shanghai Suzhou diamond league....
Duplantis is pulling a Bubka
one cm at a time, and cashing in every time!
The slightest air, in an understatement.
WOW! Stratosphere!!
Awesome! I am not familiar with the materials that make up the pole. Are they more springy than in the past?
There's been some advances in pole technology in terms of strength to weight ratios, but essentially Mondo is vaulting on the same UCS fiberglass poles as Bubka (a lot of modern vaulters now use ones made of carbon fiber which has really been the biggest breakthrough in pole tech since the 2000s). However I think pole vaulting is a sport that could advance rapidly because of technological improvements.
Bubka cleared 6.18M by about 20cm clearance over the bar
He had insane clearances! It's a shame we couldn't have had both of these athletes competing together in the same era. Imagine the heights the could have pushed eachother to!
If I were competing against him, I wouldn't be afraid, I'd be in admiration.
What do you mean he MAY be the best ever? He’s clearly the GOAT.
He literally chooses when to break his wr for maximising commercial value, he's a completely different breed
Bubka broke his own world record 17 times intentionally by only 1 cm, despite rutinely jumping higher in the training: Like this, he collected 17 times the premium for a new world record. Just for your information, nothing wrong about it, and the spectators always enjoyed the new record.
I wish you showed more of him celebrating after the vault.
There's no one that can beat him when he's at his worst!
