Mondo Duplantis has now set 2 World records in one week. His first, in Torun, Poland, in 6.17m, exhilerated the fans. Mondo had teased the world of athletics with his three attempts at 6.17m in Dusseldorf on 4 Feb.
In this podcast, we celebrate the importance of the world record, the joy that Mondo brings to the sport, and the excitement of the pole vault. I love doing podcast, because it allows me to consider the athlete or the event.
Mondo had cleared 5.52m, 5.72 meters, 5.92 meters, and 6.01 meters before attemptring the world-record height of 6.17 meters.
Consider this: Mondo Duplantis cleared 6.17m on his sixth jump of the day, and second attempt at 6.17m. Most of us think that he cleared the 6.17m by at least 5 cm!
