Olympic pole vaulter sends whole stadium wild by setting insane world record that may never be beaten
Fans couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
A pole vaulter sent over 70,000 wild by setting an incredible new world record at the Olympic Games.
Athletics fans have been treated to an incredible 24 hours at the 2024 Olympic Games, with records falling by the hour.
On Sunday evening fans inside the Stade de France witnessed arguably the greatest men’s 100 metre final in history, with Noah Lyles winning a photo-finish by five-thousandths of a second.
The atmosphere inside the stadium was incredible, but few expected the men’s pole vault final to rival it the following evening.
On Monday Sweden’s Armand Duplantis successfully defended the gold medal he won in Tokyo in 2021, but he wasn’t content with just winning.
After his victory was already confirmed, Duplantis attempted to set a new world record with the bar set at 6.25m.

After failing on his first two attempts, the 24-year-old succeeded on his third to the delight of the crowd who had stayed behind to watch him make history.
It’s the ninth world record Duplantis has set in his short career, making him one-of if not the greatest male pole vaulter of all-time.
The Swede celebrated wildly, running over to his family in the stands before taking a lap of honour with the silver and bronze medalists, Sam Kendricks and Emmanouill Karalis.
