Armand Gustav Duplantis, also called “world”, once again rewritten the history of the jump with the auction at the Tokyo 2025 athletics World Championships, not only winning the gold medal, but overcoming himself for the fourteenth timeflying beyond the 6.30 meters And by establishing a new, incredible world record. Duplantis was born on November 10, 1999 in Lafayette in Louisiana from a family of athletes – the father Greg, a former lobster, and his mother Helena, a former Swedish eptatletle and volleyball player – world started jumping into the home garden at just 3 years old, with an auction built by his father. He chose to represent the Swedish national team, the mother of the mother, when she was 15 years old, also driven by the great popularity of athletics in the country. At the age of 7 Duplantis already jumped 2.33 m. In the following years he collected all the youth world records, reaching 3.86 but 10 years and 3.97 but 12 years, showing a unique talent since the jump with the auction.

As Duplantis manages to jump higher and higher
The Swedish champion has collected 77 races and 115 jumps exceeding 6 meters, but how can it every time to raise the bar more and more? Normally, Duplantis trains six times a week, mostly focusing on how to improve the technique at the time of the jump to which he dedicates several sessions during the week, while most of his training is focused on speed, a fundamental element of the jump with the auction. It runs like a sprinter, combines explosive weight lifting exercises and works to develop power on short distances.
The run-up to the jump lasts about 45 meters (20 steps) and, in the most intense sessions, it covers up to 150 meters, performing sprints on the track and uphill, sprints that resisted with slits and “Spring-Float-Print” slides with speed variations every 15 meters. Speed is fundamental: it is the only way to improve the momentum and reach important heights. The results speak for themselves: in a performance race on 100 meters in 2024, Duplantis ran in 10.37 seconds, beating the four -ager Karsten Warholm.
To be able to jump higher and higher, Duplantis does not just run and train speed. He also spends a lot of time in the gym with dynamic movements that develop explosive strength. He works on the core with lifting of the legs in suspension and anti -derotation exercises, fundamental for maintaining stability during run -up and jumping.
Pliometry, which includes rapid sequences of stretching and contraction of the muscles, is another pillar of its training: leap on one or both legs and jumps deep from 60-80 cm boxes help to manage the detachment and to make the most of the push the feet. As far as Armand Duplantis will arrive, it is not known, even if the father recently (who is also his coach), has been unbalanced by stating that, after the 6.30 m reached on September 15, 2025 in Tokyo, “world” could reach 6.40 meters of jump.
