Swedish ace Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis breaks pole vault world record again, but this time after releasing his first hit

Swedish track and field megastar Armand "Mondo" Duplantis began his day on Saturday (AEDT) by releasing his first single, then proceeded to break the pole vault world record for the 11th time.

Duplantis soared 6.27 metres at the All Star Perche meet in the French city of Clermont-Ferrand to add one centimetre to his own global mark.

Track-side fireworks went off, stadium lights flashed wildly and the crowd went berserk as Duplantis cleared the astonishing height.

His new hit, the aptly named Bop, was even blaring throughout the arena as he propelled over the bar.

Duplantis bounced around teeming with delight, celebrating in much the same way to when he broke the world record en route to winning Olympic gold in Paris last year.

The two-time Olympic and world champion cleared 6.27 metres with his first attempt at the height.

"I just felt really good," Duplantis said. "What can I say? I came here to do it. I put everything in place to do it. The run-up worked really well. I just did it."

The 25-year-old said he'd envisioned for some time going for a world-record attempt with his new hit blasting in the background.

"When I made this song a couple of months ago, I thought this would be a perfect song to jump to here," a breathless Duplantis said after bettering the world record.

"That's why I rushed it out."

Duplantis' world record of 6.27 metres is 11 centimetres clear of the second-highest pole vault in history — the 6.16 set by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie in 2014.

Emmanouil Karalis finished second on Saturday (AEDT) with a jump of 6.02 metres to set a new Greek national record, while Australia's Kurtis Marschall cleared 5.91 metres to round out the podium.
