“Breaking the world record for the first time in Torun was a very crazy...” — Armand Duplantis Quote

“Breaking the world record for the first time in Torun was a very crazy feeling. There was this rush of emotions that flooded through my body as I cleared the bar and it was hard to believe that it actually happened.”

“If I go into years only thinking about medals I'm missing the whole meaning of what I've always been trying to do, which is trying to push myself and push the barriers of what is possible.”

“I go out there, try to jump high and just be genuine.”

“There are so many little places I want to play, sometimes weird places I think would be fun to play... a bar that's half full.”

“If you're stumbling out of a bar, and people tweet about it, well, don't be dumb. If you're going to get falling-down drunk, stay at home - which I did a lot of.”

“We started out as a bar band. We were sometimes playing in front of 20 people.”
