Duplantis, more commonly known as Mondo, is regarded as the greatest pole vaulter of all time and enjoyed another record-breaking year in 2024.
The 25-year-old retained his Olympic title in Paris, becoming the first back-to-back Olympic champion in men’s pole vault since the 1950s, and in doing so, broke the Olympic record and the world record – the latter for the ninth time in his career, and second this year.
He went on to break the world record again later in August, setting a new best of 6.26m at the Diamond League meeting in Silesia, and also won a second world indoor title and third European gold in 2024.
