What makes Mondo's record-breaking world tick
Mumbai: There are times Mondo Duplantis visualises or jokes about random things he could do with his talent. Jump over a two-storey building perhaps. Maybe across a creek as well. He'd even fancy – God forbid he should ever be in that situation, he adds – an escape from prison. Sweden's Armand Duplantis celebrates after setting a new pole vault world record during the men's pole vault event at the Hungarian Athletics Grand Prix in Budapest. (AFP) 'I'd probably have the best chance out of anybody if I had a nice stick to jump over the walls,' Duplantis said. Hypothetical prison breaks aside, the pole vault star is busy breaking world records in reality. With seemingly ridiculous ease and astonishing frequency. The most recent instance came on Tuesday, when Duplantis cleared 6.29m at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial in Budapest to better his 6.28m effort in June. It was the third time he raised his own mark this year, and the 13th overall since he first leaping a world record 6.17m in February 2020. Next month as he returns to Tokyo, where the reigning two-time Olympic champion won his first gold in 2021, Duplantis will be in competition with himself to see if he can crank it up by another centimetre in defending his World Championships title. Because the last time the Swedish-American pole vaulter did not win a World Athletics meet was, incidentally, leading into the 2023 Budapest Worlds when he was fourth at the Monaco Diamond League. It's so far back that Duplantis needs a little reminding. 'If that was my last time, it would not be the last time, for sure,' Duplantis said in a virtual media interaction ahead of the Tokyo World Championships. 'There's going to be a day where I'm not going to jump well, but that happens. 'Doesn't happen that often, though!' he is quick to add. 'And it probably won't happen two times in a row.' Hasn't happened since 2019. From then to 2023 to now, as 25-year-old defied gravity one centimetre at a time (every broken record accompanies a flow of bonuses) and raised his legacy to legendary heights, he believes he has bettered his craft in every aspect. 'I'm just a competitor in every way,' he said. 'I'm more experienced, have a better understanding physically and mentally of how to take care of myself and my body and what to do to remain in good shape. I'm also just better at performing and getting the most out of myself on each day.' Duplantis wants us to believe he is 'human'. And like most humans, he too feels the nerves and goes through sleepless nights before a big competition. But even those nerves are different. 'Like, I get really fired up and have to calm down the adrenalin. I don't get scared… that's usually a recipe for failure,' he said. 'My mental strength and zen suits me well, and it's something that I can separate myself from most athletes and jumpers that I'm going against.' Duplantis also separates himself from the world of numbers. He doesn't pay too much heed to his winning streak, volume of records or the next barrier to break. 'Because I have the confidence that it will come. Doesn't matter if it's now, tomorrow, this year or next year,' he said. What he does know, thanks to his father, is that he is close to the OG pole vault trendsetter Sergey Bubka's similar one-centimetre upgrades 14 times over between 1991 and 1993. 'He (his father) probably would like it even more for me to pass Bubka in every aspect,' Duplantis said. In his mind – and he admits it's the most common question he gets asked – there is no limit. His focus remains to 'maximise in the now'. And for now, that is the 6.30m mark. 'That'll be a huge barrier to cross for me and for the sport in general,' he said. 'I'll be there soon, and then I'll keep looking forward. I know there's a lot more to come.' Winning so routinely, while breaking world records almost at will, can run the monotony risk. It helps that Duplantis reckons he has 'short term memory loss'. 'I forget my accomplishments too quickly,' he said. 'It's just the way that I'm built.' He's also built to not stop – no matter the number of times he keeps bettering himself and breaking the record. 'I just love competing. Doesn't matter how many world records I break,' he said. 'In sports, nobody just gives you anything. Everything is earned. They don't just give me the trophy because I'm the favourite. I still have to go out there, compete, be on my A game, earn my title and be the last man standing on that day.'

Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins hit with brutal uncertainty as unsigned deal fuels NFL future doubts
Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins hit with brutal uncertainty as unsigned deal fuels NFL future doubts (Image via Getty) Quinshon Judkins, the Cleveland Browns' rookie running back, had the domestic violence charges dropped on August 14, 2025, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Prosecutors in South Florida decided not to move forward because the evidence did not support a conviction. Quinshon Judkins was arrested on July 12 after an alleged incident following a flight from Fort Lauderdale Airport. He still has not signed his rookie contract or officially joined the Browns' roster. Quinshon Judkins cleared of domestic violence charges in Florida The Cleveland Browns chose Ohio State's Quinshon Judkins in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft. That was in April. But on July 12, he was apprehended in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on a misdemeanor domestic violence and battery charge related to an assumed incident in a car after arriving at the airport. Prosecutors examined police reports, surveillance footage, images, statements, and text messages. There were no impartial witnesses; the video did not show injuries; and the woman was late in telling the event. They decided not to pursue the case since the evidence was not sufficient for a conviction. Andy Slater of Fox Sports confirmed that 'Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins will not face any formal charges.' Also Read: Fox Sports Family Bids Tearful Farewell To Jimmy Johnson After His Surprise Retirement At Age 81 Quinshon Judkins' NFL future remains uncertain without Cleveland Browns contract Even though charges are dropped, Quinshon Judkins is still not signed by the Browns. He hasn't joined training camp or signed his rookie deal. That makes it unclear if he will play this season. Two factors will determine his fate: the Browns' agreeing to sign him and the legal procedure proceeding. The judge permitted him to give up his right to a speedy trial, therefore lengthening the legal schedule. That could slow down contract talks. The Cleveland Browns' front office and Coach Kevin Stefanski are still gathering information. The team asked him to stay home and focus on the legal issue while the investigation played out.

"I'm taxed out my a**' - OnlyFans star Sophie Rain aims to surpass LeBron James' earnings in 2026 (Image Source: Getty Images) OnlyFans star Sophie Rain is aiming to out-earn NBA legend LeBron James in 2026. She revealed her bold goal during a lively podcast discussion that compared her 2024 income to the basketball star's massive salary. The exchange quickly caught attention online, drawing curiosity over whether the content creator can close the gap. Sophie Rain says she can top LeBron James next year On Tuesday, August 13, Sophie Rain, an OnlyFans creator from the United States, joined the Bangin' Out podcast. The recording took place in front of a live studio audience, with hosts Jacob Sartorius, Aishah Sofey, Summer Iris, Alina Rose , and Ava. During the episode, Jacob Sartorius asked Sophie Rain about her earnings. She confirmed reports that she made around $43 million in 2024, saying, 'But I'm taxed out my a**.' The hosts then pulled up salary lists for famous athletes. According to Spotrac, LeBron James, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, is set to make $52.6 million in salary for the 2025 NBA season. When Sophie Rain saw the figure, she appeared surprised and said LeBron had 'barely' beaten her. Ava, one of the co-hosts, encouraged her by saying, 'Next year you got him,' and Rain responded, 'Yeah, next year.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like At 62, Laura San Giacomo Is Still Turning Heads Boite A Scoop Undo Alina Rose reveals her earnings and Rain's past in the Bop House Also on the panel, Alina Rose spoke about her career. She said her all-time earnings are near $76 million, but explained it was far from easy. 'I wish I could say it's as easy as it sounds, but it's not. I had to sacrifice a lot to get where I am,' Rose said. She added that the job had affected her mental health, stressing the importance of morals and faith. Sophie Rain also addressed part of her personal history. Earlier in 2025, she left the Bop House, a well-known content creator mansion, after what she described as 'serious drama' with other members. As for LeBron James, the $52.6 million mentioned on the show is only his NBA salary. As reported by Forbes, he earns much more through investments, endorsements, and business ventures. He is projected to make another $52.6 million from the Lakers in 2026, so Rain's goal will require significant growth in her earnings to surpass him.
