PUMA athlete Mondo Duplantis has once again redefined the limits of the pole vault, soaring to a breathtaking 6.31m world record at the 2026 Mondo Classic, the highest jump ever recorded in the history of the sport.
In front of an electric home crowd, at his very own meet, the Swedish superstar delivered a moment of theatre. Having already dominated the competition, Duplantis raised the bar to a record-breaking height and cleared it with his trademark composure – continuing his relentless pursuit of pushing the sport to new heights.
Wearing his signature PUMA EvoSPEED Naio NITRO™ Elite spikes, the 26-year-old once again made the extraordinary look routine. With his smooth runway speed and flawless technique, Duplantis turned another centimetre into history, reinforcing his status as the undisputed ‘GOAT’ of the pole vault.
The performance adds another milestone to a record-breaking era for the event and further cements PUMA’s presence at the forefront of elite pole vaulting. Alongside fellow PUMA athletes including Emmanouil Karalis and Kurtis Marschall – who continue to push the event’s competitive level globally – Duplantis’ historic jump highlights the brand’s deep connection to the sport’s fastest athletes and providing them with the most innovative products to shatter records on the biggest stages.
