“When I was younger, pole vaulting was all that I knew. It was mainstream. It was…” — Armand Duplantis

If I feel like I am becoming stagnant then I will try something new. I am always going to be trying to get to a new level.

I want to win everything there is to win, and do it more times than anyone else has done it.

Renaud was my idol growing up ever since I was 10 years old and I was just getting into pole vaulting and starting to become obsessed with him in general and the way he jumps, how he can do what he was doing.

It's hard to believe sometimes that I am the world record holder.
