Armand Duplantis, world pole vault star, will participate in the Paris meeting on June 28 at Charléty, a stage of the Diamond League.
Icon of the sports world, Armand Duplantis draws crowds. On February 22 in Clermont-Ferrand, the French public responded en masse at the Maison des Sports for the All-Star Perche, won by the Swede who, as usual, put on a show in front of Renaud Lavillenie. Despite suffering from food poisoning, “Mondo” won with a height of 6.06m before attempting to break his world record of 6.30m, which he believes is within reach as he aims for 6.40m. Happy in France, where he was crowned Olympic champion in 2024 at the Stade de France, the pole vault world champion will return in three months for the Paris meeting on June 28, a stage of the Diamond League held at the Charléty stadium.
“The victory at the 2024 Games is still etched in my memory”
The organizers announced it with great fanfare this Wednesday. “The victory at the 2024 Games is still etched in my memory, and I really hope that I can once again offer something special to the Parisian public, who truly understand pole vaulting,” said Armand Duplantis in a statement from the organizers. They have positioned the Swede as the main attraction of their event. Undefeated in pole vaulting since 2023, he is currently riding a wave of 37 consecutive victories. In addition to his two Olympic titles, he also holds a triple world crown (2022, 2023, and 2025), with the most recent coming from Tokyo in September 2025. In the Japanese capital, he set his new world record at 6.30m.
