He broke 8 world records while I'm over here breaking my bones falling off of the bleachers

Me: *sits through whole video eating chips* can’t relate.

You really have to respect a 9:50 video.

Who’s here after he broke the world record?! It’s so amazing that he did it, but at 20? That’s insane!

This guy could freaking pole vault over a highway!😂

Started pole vaulting last week and I'm watching these videos like, "You have to be kidding me."

and now he is european champion with unbelievable 6,05m !! I quickly became a big fan of him after seeing this miracle happen today, but after seeing this progression video I am just in complete awe ! he´s inspiring me so much, support from germany~

I’m expecting to see him at the 2020 olympics. The rest of the world HAS TO see this🎉🎉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

For any one who has vaulted, coached and or studied this sport this is a athlete that will change history in the sport for years and many athletes to come great work and dedication you deserve it all

im 16 and I am just now clearing what he did at 9...

This boy can run faster than me in slo motion than I can in real life

Awesome to see the progression of a vaulter from such a young age up to now. Great video, thank you for posting!

not only can he pole vault but he can run too. he ran 10.4 in the 100 meters at his district meet this year. i was lucky enough to watch this from the field

This is an incredible video... that unbelievably needs some updating. He just did 19'1" at New Balance Nationals indoors.

When your 15 struggling to clear 8 feet 😂

Watched him win gold at the Tokyo Olympics! Amazing athlete!!

It’s good to come back to this video after him beating the world record. Congratulations 🍾

Anybody else here after he broke the world record 6.17

He broke so many records 0-0

He jumped 20’3”(6.18m) a couple weeks ago and got the WR. Absolutely outstanding, who knows what he’s gonna accomplish in the future.

He's over here vaulting higher then me on a hover bourd. SMH

One tip: add the result in the metric system (meters and centimeters) too for viewers from the rest of the world.

Ok but who just has a pole vault mat in their back yard...

Crazy how you can determine your life just to one specific discipline

Amazing athlete....wow....you are a true champion Armand!

*Watching this to go get a pop tart* *trips over feet* “Well crap”

That is an unbelievable progression. Priceless video to show the grand kids. Unparalleled talent. Well deserved works record that he holds today going over 20 ft. That back flip at the end of this video was out of this world.

Who just saw him win gold at Tokyo 2020?

Amazing I used a sweedish steel pole 1964 cleared 12'6" . This young man is amazing. I think Bob Penell held the record then . Loved watching!

They didn’t even let us start pole vault until high school in Minnesota 💀

4:52 literally went 4 inches above the pole

Just love the little vault angel !❤

Great video... Watching year by year Mondo's progression through hard work and determination made me cry...

When Athletics use the simple metric system and you put imperial measurements ONLY 🤔

He cleared 14’7 at 13 with ease

European champ congratulations!!! 6:05!! age 18

No wonder he's so good, I mean, he was basically born with a pole in the hand.

世界記録おめでとうございます🎉🎉🎉

He is a wonderful phenomenon, inspiration for all athletes. thanks for the video, thanks Mondo Duplantis.

This is fascinating to watch. Thank you so much for the upload.

I highly respect pole vaulting because it looks so hard!

This is spectacular. What an inspiration. I’m so proud of him.

And now he broke a barrier of 6,20 meters. He s fking amazing

He is gonna make it to 6,30m

And now, world record, 6.17. Difficult to find a sportsman with so much talent, he was literally born to pole vault.

Great video, well put together

Fantastic video. Well done Mondo on becoming European Champion. Great to see Renaud keeping watch on future rivals all those years ago.

Just imagine all the things he could vault over.

fine video, excellent athlete, well done Duplantis!!!

Awesome stuff .. Well done. well deserved and congratulations to all involved with your NEW WORLD RECORD - 6.17m

this year 2023 and he is break the record again 6.23m that is incredible. He was born for this

I've been at a meet that he was jumping at. I pole vault too but sadly I wasn't jumping that meet

Nice job son and dad! You make a great team!

Great video , congrats mondo

You are incredible!

when u ask why hes not in the olympics yet and then u realize how young he is...

Mondo is in another universe! This level of lift production requires a lifetime of focused effort and dedication.

When your pole vault bar is setup in front of your basketball hoop.

this was awesome

Most people never figure out what they’re really meant to do in life. This guy knew as a toddler. Pretty amazing.

2020- world record 6.17

He just won Olympic Gold wow

And now he holds the indoor world record of 6.17 meters, insane.

3:54 When you're 12 years old and the current recordman and olympic champion is filming you you must feel some pressure

dude he’s amazing

How can you not love this video!?

He literally was set up for big success as a kid. With his dad being a former successful pole vaulter, have a pole vault pit set up in his own backyard, all the tools. Especially once he hit puberty too, it really was just all uphill PRs!

Amazing video!

Let my man jump at the Texas relays !!!

Here in 2022 this pops up on my feed. He broke the WR last week. NBC and World Athletics had the wherewithal to pan back to show him down most of the runway. It’s really showed how fast he is. He is light, strong, fearless and still very young. He clearly is head and shoulders above the competition. By the end of his career no one should be surprised if he vaults 20’8” or dare I say 21 FEET!!!

For all of you that has commented on using feet -inches instead of metric ,i offer the following :1)i as an engineer i prefer the metric system , however in the USA that's what we use, 2) the 10 year progression was performed using feet-inches, 3) a standard that is used to measure young vaulters high performance in the US is to "jump your age (in feet) ", no equal metric standard, 4) all measurement after high school are reported in meters, 5) standard methods for converting feet inches to meters round DOWN losing as much as a 1/4 inch 6) we use $ and not eur etc, 7)i don't have imovie anymore to make changes, and 8) take the time to do what we do in US ,convert meters to feet inches.

Congrats on new WR recently....20-4. So cool...

I remember when the world record was around 17 feet, and he did that at age 15!

I didn't even learn about pole vault until 10th grade, we finally got equipment and a few of us started. Had no real coach and just kinda winged it. It was fun but we were awful. My buddy and I attended Bill Faulks pole vault camp and took back what we learned, greatly improving all of our team. This was years ago, and last I heard our old school team is going strong and still has active vaulters. Even better, was recently talking with my neice, 7, who does gymnastics and told her about pole vaulting. She informed me they do a class at her gym, and she says it looks fun and wants to try. So proud lol.

Bob you should do another with the last 4 years added! cheers mate!

He started early and has a natural talent for it. Amazing.

And in Feb 2020 new world record holder with a 6.17 metre jump! I think he can still jump higher, and it will be many, many years before the records that he will set will be broken by anyone else. Have to update this, make that 6.18 metres!!! He just did it again in Glasgow a few days later on his first attempt! This guy is simply unbelievable.

bruh he was doing polevault from 6 obviously he was gonna be great and his dad got him a polevault thing in his backyard! his success was guaranteed!

King of pole vault MD

I need an updated video :)

That backflip tho 😂 such an inspiring vid, so happy he made it at the European Championships!!! By the way, I‘m an iceskater from Germany, so I really can just wonder about how much work he put in this sport 👍

That’s remarkable 👏👏👏👏👏

Hi Bob. That's amazing! Wonder how it feels like to be upside down?

Good job !

And now he's great

Thanks UKposts Recommendations, even though I’ve already seen this before!

Wow good job dude that’s so cool

Give this man a meda... Oh yeah he already has like 50 gold medals

And look where he is now Olympic Champion WR holder

Fabulous !!

U actually broke so many records that u made it to the Olympics ur a godd

Well, uhh, I uhh, I know how to play Yankee Doodle on piano..

The greatest poll vaulter of all time. He is only 21 yrs and Sergey Bubka set his highest world record at 6.15 meters at the age of 31 . Mondo will still be soaring !

incredible

19'5 now!

When I was in high school (early 1970s) the best pole vaulter in the state was clearing around 15’6”. Now I’m watching someone who broke that height in 8th grade. Amazing. I’ve always loved this event, though I never could do it. (I did clear almost 4 feet messing around in practice once.😝)

Who's here after watching his 6.17 WR?

Yo that backflip was sick

As a vaulter just starting out freshman year, this is insane

Even if I'm french and proud to be (...I'm french ahah), I hope he'll have a lot of title, and probably the world record of Renaud. He's already a great champion, and even the reaction from Lavillenie at the european championship shows all the respect he have for Mondo (comparing to his reaction for Morgunov's jumps)...
