Pole vault superstar Mondo Duplantis will attack his own meeting record when he returns to Paris for the eighth leg of the Wanda Diamond League on June 28.
Two-time Olympic champion and 14-time world record breaker Duplantis returns to the Meeting de Paris for the first time since 2024 this year as part of his bid for a sixth successive Diamond League title.
The Swedish superstar broke the meeting record in Paris with 6.01m back in 2021, and also cleared six metres on his last appearance at the Stade Charléty in 2024.
Fresh from his third World Athletics Championships gold medal last September, Duplantis will be hoping to extend an extraordinary run of Diamond League dominance in 2026.
He has won five back-to-back series titles since 2021, picking up 41 Diamond League victories in the process.
A sixth title in 2026 would leave him just one short of the all-time record held by his fellow pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie.
As well as Paris, the reigning champion is also set to compete in Keqiao, Stockholm, London and Silesia this year.
Paris is the eighth leg of the 2026 Wanda Diamond League, which begins in Doha on May 8 and ends at the two-day series final in Brussels on September 4-5.
The series unites the biggest names in track and field in some of the world’s most iconic arenas, crossing four continents and 15 cities over the course of the season.
