In other Pole vault News…we have Mondo Duplantis defending his gold medal and a new world record of 6.25

I know we all have a gold medalist in our heart with the French BDE but the actual finals were today and we have Armond Duplantis of Sweden with the gold

Silver to Kendricks of US (6.00)

Bronze to Karalis of Greece (5.95)

The sportsmanship between the vaulters is always fun to watch. Karalis helped Mondo tape his hand after he cut it and I believe he put out a fan for him between jumps.
