Mondo Duplantis wrote another golden page in pole vault history on Monday night as he broke the world record for the 9th time with his jump of 6.25m, which earned him the gold medal in this year’s Olympic Games final.

The Swedish vaulter also stood out in his celebrations, as he celebrated his great jump by mimicking Yusuf Dikec, the Turkish shooter who went viral for his style that earned him the silver medal at the Paris Games.
