Athletistic / Olympic Games. Swedish double Olympic pole vault champion Armand Duplantis spoke about the influence of Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie on the development of his career. On August 5, the 24-year-old athlete set a new record in the men’s pole vault.

“Lavillenie has contributed so much to my success: directly and indirectly. For many reasons that he himself is not even aware of. My emotions are indescribable. It was Renault who lit this fire in me when I was still a little child. And I hope to become for the children who now practice pole vaulting what you were for me. They say that you should not meet your idols, but for me this meeting was the best,” quotes RMC Sport. As Duplantis said.

  • See it for yourself. Russia has announced a boycott of the Paris Olympics.

Armand Duplantis set new Olympic (6.10 meters) and world (6.25 meters) records at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. For the first time, he became Olympic champion at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo (Japan). Renaud Lavillenie is the winner of the 2012 Games in London (Great Britain).
