Queen of hearts thrilled
World record! Kisses from model after one-off show
Outstanding! Armand "Mondo" Duplantis won gold in the pole vault at the Olympic Games in Paris thanks to an impressive aerial show. The 24-year-old US-born athlete, who competes for his Swedish mother's home country, improved his own world record by one centimeter to 6.25 meters. He was rewarded with kisses from girlfriend Desire Inglander.
On Monday evening, Duplantis made the Stade de France shake. 66,500 spectators watched his gold triumph, including the world record show. His queen of hearts, model Desire Inglander, also cheered in the stands.
Duplantis immediately ran towards the stands. The couple kissed while the fans celebrated around them. Beautiful scenes!
Memorable evening
There was no holding back. "Never before has a pole vaulter been so celebrated as on this memorable evening in Paris. He is the greatest track and field athlete of our time," wrote "Krone" reporter Olaf Brockmann.
"Was my biggest dream"
"Since I was a child, my biggest dream was to break the world record at the Olympic Games," said Duplantis, unable to believe it. "And I did it in front of the craziest crowd I've ever competed in front of."
