WATCH: Mondo Duplantis' progress in pole vault to multiple World records and Olympic glory in the last five years

Swedish-American pole vaulter Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis will return to action in 2025. Duplantis will participate in the 10th edition of the All Star-Perche event, which will be held in Clermont-Ferrand in France in February 2025.

The official Instagram page of the All Star-Perche recently shared glimpses of Duplantis' performances in various editions of the acclaimed event, including the multiple world records he has achieved in the last five years.

The Instagram post was captioned, [translated from French]:

"What could be better before the holidays than the announcement of the prodigy Armand Duplantis 🇸🇪 for the 10th edition of the All Star Perche 💫"?
"After 2018, 2020, 2023 and 2024, @mondo_duplantis returns to Auvergne to reach the summits 🤩. A prediction for 2025? See you on February 28, 2025 in Clermont-Ferrand for a new crazy competition."

The video showed Duplantis' achievements, including the World Under 20 record that he achieved in 2018 with a jump of 5.88m and the world record of 6.22m that he achieved at the All Star-Perche event in 2022.

Mondo Duplantis has cemented his status as one of the greatest pole vaulters, with a second consecutive Olympic gold medal at the Paris Olympics. Duplantis also got engaged to his longtime girlfriend and model, Desire Inglander.

Mondo Duplantis was expected to fly high in the 2024 season. He has broken the world record in men's pole vault a record seven times since 2020. The 25-year-old was expected to do the same at the Paris Olympics, and he did not disappoint.

The Swedish-American pole vaulter began in style by winning the gold medal at the World Indoor Athletics Championships held in Glasgow. He jumped to a height of 6.05m.

Soon after, at the Xiamen leg of the Diamond League 2024, Duplantis improved his world record, as he jumped up to the height of 6.24m in his very first attempt. He went on to win the gold medal at the European Championships, though he couldn't repeat the heroics of the Xiamen Diamond League.

At the Paris Olympics, Duplantis won his second consecutive gold medal, breaking the world record for the ninth time with a jump of 6.25m. However, he wasn't done yet. In the runup to the Diamond League finals, the pole vaulter breached the 6.26m mark to win the Silesia leg of the Diamond League.

At the Diamond League finals held in Brussels, Mondo Duplantis couldn't break the world record. However, his performance of 6.11m was more than enough to give him a fourth consecutive Diamond League trophy since 2021.
