The camera man who captures him mid flight must be crowned
I don’t know anything about this sport, but i feel like he has 6.30 in him already?
Finally, video! thanks OP
Man. As a Swede this means so much to me. Tears in my eyes
Heroics that are worth staying up late for.
The only athlete competing in the stadium at the time; attempting to break his own WR. The Olympics are definitely a treat to watch.
Duplantis with what might be the moment of the Olympics.
Incredible
Such an insane timing and control to get his arm around in time!
Oh good, they did hire a guy to do slowmo
born and raised in the US…
being upside down mid-air is crazy
The pole is not that long anymore, they need longer ones… 😀
How a human body can do this is beyond me. I know there are many amazing feats in every discipline, but this one leaves me even more in awe
That’s a long as fall!!
Those medieval castle guards minds would be blown by this
I bet he saw that in slow motion too
The funny part about watching pole vault is I have no idea how you would do it the first time
Du Duplant Duplantis
So amazing!
Hold my beer..
That left leg swoop.. incredible
I don’t think it’s humanly possible to go higher unless they increase the length of the pole. He was climbing it all the way up.
My favorite are the camera views from overhead to watch their reactions as they’re falling. It’s one of the few sports where there’s enough time for a good reaction while they’re still in free fall, and it must be an absolutely insane feeling of accomplishment.
I was a pole vaulter in high school and junior college. Having a sense of how insanely technical and mentally challenging pole vaulting is, watching Mando do this blows my mind. Guy was born to be a pole vaulter. We won’t see another one like him for a LONG time.
Wow that’s so high
Geaux tigers!
We all cheer for our own country during a tournament, but this is the cool shit that sets the Olympics apart from everything else. Especially in a 80.000 people stadium filled to the brim. Could very well be up to a billion people from all over the world watching this one guy poal vault.
It’s just insanity that the human body is capable of this shit and i watch it while eating ice cream and sitting on the couch 😂
I was cracking up at him casually receiving “medical” attention from the Greek competitor prior to this jump. Seems like great camaraderie in the sport. Such an awesome accomplishment
Pure technique
One of the coldest moments of live sport I’ve ever witnessed. Final attempt, Olympic Final, gold secured, in front of 80,000 people and millions watching, in the last event of the night, and a world record
Quick question that might get buried, but… did anyone see him hard punching that fellow Swedish guy in the stands after his WR? I thought it was a “LFG!!” moment but upon rewatch – I think he was angry punching him and the other guy looked really mad.
Glorious!
For people to understand what a generational talent he is:
– Duplantis casually warmed up at 5.95 (silver medal) – 2nd place got to 5.95 – 25 cm above the 11th place (and mind you, this is post qualifying) – Duplantis won the medal at 6, took the OR at 6.10 (+6) and then WR (and new OR) at 6.25
In other words: Duplantis was further ahead of #2 than #2 was of #11.
This absolutely dominance is truly exceedingly rare. Hats off!
why didnt he attempt to do higher?
all of that and he still cant go over a tall nut 😿
Guys amazing. How many times this year has he broken his own records. Two or three times? Absolutely insane.
I Don’t even know how to begin to understand how one would learn to do this. Carzy stuff!
Because of the way he curves his body, probably his center of gravity never went above 6.25m. It’s pretty cool how pole vaulters and high jumpers control their bodys to go over bars with the center of gravity under the actual mark.
he’s so in control it would be unbelievable…if he hadn’t done this sort of shit to his WR multiple multiple times
dude is from another planet man
What does he do that puts him so far ahead of anyone else?
That’s badass. Congrats to him
Flawless
No fair medium penis
Do they all use the same size pole?
Hes should try and vault the Eifiell tower next
awesome
Think I rewatched 3 times before realising. That’s mesmerising
