Divya Delhi:  Swedish pole vaulter Armand Duplantis set a new world record of 6.27m in the All Star Perche tournament in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The Olympic and world champion has broken the record 11 times. At 25, Duplantis won the competition with a 6.02m leap. But he kept going, hoping to break his own world record of 6.26m, achieved in August 2024. The best pole vaulter in history cleared 6.27m on his first try, demonstrating his talent and self-confidence. Since breaking the world record in February 2020 at 6.17m at 20, the Swedish superstar has kept lifting the bar. France's Renaud Lavillenie's 6.16m record was broken after almost six years. Duplantis has been improving his record by centimetres since, pushing the sport's limits. He won his second Olympic gold and broke the 6.25m world record in Paris 2024. He smashed it again at 6.26m in Poland weeks later in August 2024. His record-breaking performance at Clermont-Ferrand is his third in less than a year.  Swedish pole vaulter Armand Duplantis set a new world record of 6.27m in the All Star Perche tournament in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
