+ EC in Berlin 2018

Duplantis came to the championship as the new shooting star in the pole vaulting sky.

In a sensational final where Duplantis broke his personal best three times, he defeated Russian Timur Morgunov and childhood idol Renaud Lavillenie to take gold.

In the end, the winning height was 6.05 – a new junior world and Swedish record.

- I knew at 5.95 that I had to take everything in the first attempt to win.

And I accepted the challenge, I was going to do everything to win, Duplantis said then.

+ Indoor EC in Torun 2021

After breaking the world record earlier in the season, Duplantis came to Torun as the favorite for the gold.

The Polish city was where he set his first world record when he jumped 6.17.

It was not as high in the EC.

As in Berlin, the winning height was 6.05 – a new championship record.

He also tried at 6.19 but didn't quite make it.

- I would have loved to break the record, but it would have been too good to be true.

Especially when it was here that I took the first world record.

It wasn't meant to be today, he says.

+ Olympics in Tokyo 2021

Armand Duplantis secured the Olympic gold with a flawless jump over 6.02.

After the biggest competitor, American Sam Kendricks, tested positive for covid-19 and missed the final, the Swede's gold was never threatened.

Then he set the bar at a world record height of 6.19 – and was just an improbable tear away from clearing.

- It has been my dream since I was a small child to win a gold medal in the Olympics, and now I am here with a gold medal, he said after the triumph.

+ Indoor WC in Belgrade 2022

WC gold and a world record in the same competition are rare.

But in Belgrade, Duplantis had to celebrate twice.

The bar trembled, but remained.

Duplantis became the first pole vaulter to clear the dream limit of 6.20.

The gold was never really threatened.

Silver medalist Thiago Braz from Brazil cleared 6.05 as the highest.

- I want to be a guy who can jump high at championships, so that's the image I had in my head when I was training at home in the garden: that I'm in the WC and the crowd is cheering, said Duplantis after the world record.

+ WC in Eugene 2022

In Belgrade, the bar trembled at 6.20.

In Eugene, Armand Duplantis was well over 6.21 – and polished off his own world record.

After securing the World Cup gold - the first of his career - when Christopher Nilsen, USA, and Ernest John Obiena, Philippines, and Thiago Braz, Brazil, cleared six meters, he chose to continue jumping.

- I actually didn't think about the record that much.

Normally it's there somewhere in the back of my mind but now I was so focused on dealing with the wind and I really wanted the gold.

It is the medal that I have been missing, he said.

+ EC in Munich 2022

In a rainy and cold Olympic Stadium in Munich, Armand Duplantis saved his second EC gold outdoors.

Duplantis cleared 5.95 on the first attempt and secured the gold after German home jumper Bo Kanda Lita Baehre pulled out.

However, this championship was not a world record attempt.

Duplantis opted to stay after clearing 6.06 – a new championship record.
