PARIS (Reuters) -Sweden's Mondo Duplantis retained his Olympic pole vault title with ludicrous ease on Monday, needing only four successful attempts to take gold with 6.00 metres, before clearing an Olympic record 6.10 for fun.
Duplantis entered the fray at 5.70, and promptly cleared it by about a metre. He sat out 5.80 then flew easily over 5.85, as others all around him were starting to fall by the wayside.
