Paris Olympics: 'Such An Out Of Body Experience', Says Duplantis After Pole Vault Glory

Paris Olympics: Armand Duplantis was speechless after Swedish star soared 6.25m to set the ninth world pole vault record of his career and cap a gold medal-winning performance at the Paris Olympics.

The 24-year-old has won every global men’s pole vault title since claiming his first Olympic crown in Tokyo three years ago. With this latest victory, he becomes only the second man to secure two pole vault gold medals at the Games, following the double achieved by USA’s Bob Richards in 1952 and 1956.

"I haven't processed how fantastic that moment was. It's one of those things that don't really feel real, such an out of body experience," Duplantis said in a press conference.
