Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Armand Duplantis broke the men’s pole vault Olympic record to win the gold medal and bested his own world record for the ninth time on Monday.<\/p>\n

“The world record holder soared over the bar at 6.10m, after earlier flying over at 6.00m to win a widely-expected \u2013 but brilliant \u2013 Olympic title, ahead of Sam Kendricks of the USA who won silver with a jump of 5.95m and Greece\u2019s Emmanouil Karalis who took bronze (5.90m),” the Olympics said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Duplantis, 24, set a new Olympic record in pole vault after clearing 6.10 meters in his first attempt and then raised his men’s pole vault world record to 6.25 meters.<\/p>\n

He beat the 6.03 meter record set by Brazil\u2019s Thiago Braz.<\/p>\n

Sam Kendricks from the USA won the silver for his second Olympic medal and Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis went on to take the bronze to finish in third place.<\/p>\n

Duplantis previously bagged a gold at the 2021 Tokyo Games.<\/p>\n

The Swede celebrated his victory by striking the viral pose of Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish Olympic silver medalist shooter.<\/p>\n
