My Take
Armand Mondo Duplantis is, in my view, one of the greatest athletes competing today. The Louisiana-born, Sweden-representing pole vaulter has rewritten the world record all the way to 6.31 m, and the way he edges it up centimeter by centimeter, electrifying crowds and sponsors each time, reveals a showman's sense of timing few in track and field possess. Watching his 181 cm frame coil and soar feels less like sport and more like performance art. He is still young, and the most thrilling part is that no one truly knows how high he can go. I cannot look away.
