Sweden’s pole vault sensation Armand Duplantis clinched his second straight Diamond League win this season in Suzhou on Saturday—but not without drama! 🎢 The Olympic champion cleared 6.00m to secure gold, though fans were left on the edge of their seats as he narrowly missed a jaw-dropping 6.25m world record attempt.
Just a week after breaking his own world record with a 6.24m leap in Xiamen, the 24-year-old \"Mondo\" aimed even higher. His third attempt at 6.25m had the crowd gasping before the bar wobbled off. Still, the win cements his dominance as the season heats up. 🔥
\"I gave it everything,\" Duplantis said post-event. With eight world records under his belt, who’s betting against him smashing 6.25m next? 💪
