Ingenious reason Mondo Duplantis has broken the same pole vault world record a staggering 12 times
Don't miss out on the headlines from Athletics. Followed categories will be added to My News. Swedish pole vault superstar Mondo Duplantis has once again broken the pole vault world record at the Diamond League meeting in Stockholm by another centimetre, as his ingenious strategy continues to pay off big time. Duplantis broke the world record for the first time when he cleared 6.17 metres at an indoor meet in Poland in 2020, a year before winning his maiden Olympic gold medal in Tokyo. Since then meet by meet he breaks it by a centimetre at a time. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. This time he set Stockholm Olympic Stadium, which hosted the Games in 1912, into raptures as he cleared 6.28m. The 25-year-old whipped off his shirt and kissed his fiancee, Swedish influencer Desiré Inglander, who was watching on from the front row. 'It's a magical feeling,' said Duplantis, who was born and raised in Louisiana but represents Sweden, where his mom is from. 'I wanted this so bad. I wanted to do this in front of everybody here in Stockholm, all my Swedes.' Mondo Duplantis broke the world record for an incredible 12th time in his native Sweden. Image: Getty But many fans were left scratching their heads that he doesn't try and clear a bigger height, given the fact he barely fails on a jump. Duplantis has incredibly lost just four times since the start of 2020 while racking up more than 70 meet wins. While his decision to only break the world record 1cm at a time is done for a very deliberate reason. In the pole vault, athletes can choose the height at which they wish to enter the competition and will get three attempts to clear it. They then have free rein to pick their next height after each clearance.

So by just breaking world records, Duplantis has earned a cool $1.2 million over the past five years. However, there is one restriction – athletes can only be paid the $100,000 reward once per meeting. Therefore, each time he continues to raise the bar by just one centimetre and at 25 years of age, the sky is the limit for the pole vault phenom.

J.Lindeberg to launch first women's fashion collection next year, teaser campaign begins
Sweden's is moving into women's ready-to-wear. The Swedish brand that's been known until now for its sports-linked men's and womenswear but its men's-only fashion lines, will launch its first women's fashion collection in January next year. The 30-year-old label said it's 'a key step in the brand's continued evolution into a lifestyle brand'. Since 1996, has bridged the worlds of sport and fashion via its golf, ski and tennis clothing and already has a foundation in womenswear through high-performance collections for those specific sports. And it said the new RTW line 'builds on that momentum, offering a sharp, versatile wardrobe designed for modern lives in constant motion'. We're told the collection reflects its Scandi roots 'while looking outward with a progressive, global mindset. It speaks to individuals with high expectations, who lead active lives and expect their clothes to reflect that drive. Each piece is made to support dynamic routines, from city streets and creative spaces to the clubhouse, mountains and beyond'. Despite not launching globally for another six months, 'to build early momentum, is teasing the collection through key global profiles, such as model Georgia Fowler, Desiré Inglander, Gabrielle Richardson and Stella Xu – offering an early glimpse of standout styles in real lifestyle settings across core markets'. The full campaign will roll out closer to launch. The news comes in a year when the brand is heavily focused on global expansion. Back in April it opened its largest flagship store to date in Seoul, South Korea. Spanning five floors in the Gangnam district, the new space was a significant step in the brand's expansion to the Asian market with South Korea one of the fastest-growing markets for both sports and fashion, 'making it a strategic location for latest retail investment'.
