Sweden Star Armand Duplantis Copies Yusuf Dikec After Paul Vault World Record, Shooter Reacts
Sweden's Armand Duplantis bettered his own world record as he grabbed the Paris Olympics pole vault title in on Monday. In a sensational finish to the fifth day of track and field at the Stade de France, Duplantis sailed over the bar raised to 6.25 meters to make the gold medal his own. The effort received rapturous applause from a 69,000-capacity crowd as the Swedish star bettered the 'world record' by 1cm his own previous best of 6.24m set at the Xiamen Diamond League meet in April. What Duplantis did after clinching the gold, however, went viral on social media.
