Swedish track and field athlete Armand Duplantis: he is called “the record breaker of records”

At the age of five, he was jumping on a mop, and by seven he replaced it with a real pole and became a world record holder.

Arman Duplantis, a Swedish track and field athlete specializing in pole vaulting, made history last year when he sensationally cleared a height of 6.05m on his first attempt at the European Championships in Berlin and became the youngest ever continental champion in the sport.

Arman shared the podium with Russian Timur Morgunov (6.00m) and Olympic champion from France Renaud Lavillenie (5.95m). By the way, he was only 18 years old at the time. We’ve gathered a few more facts about the young athlete, but as you may recall, some of them may be false. Be careful, and we will check if you are easily fooled. Did this or that event in the life of the young champion really happen? Take a guess.
