Armand Duplantis' incredible performance at the Olympics in Paris secured his place in pole vaulting history
The Swede fulfilled a childhood dream as he broke his own pole vault world record to retain his Olympic crown
As history was made at the Stade de France, American-born vaulter Duplantis was the only one to clear the six-meter mark
April saw him attain a record of 6.24 m for the blind in the Xiamen Diamon League in China, But on his third and last try, he beat that distance at 6.25 m and took advantage of the overwhelming cheers from the audience
