Armand Duplantis won his second straight Olympic gold medal in the pole vault on Monday, and did so by breaking his own world record. He also broke out the best celebratory pose of the 2024 Olympics so far by mimicking Turkish shooter and viral sensation Yusuf Dikec.
Duplantis began the night in a back-and-forth battle with U.S. pole vaulter Sam Kendricks, but left the American behind by clearing the six-meter mark. With the gold secured, Duplantis wanted to set the Olympic record, so he set the bar at 6.10 meters and cleared it on the first attempt. After doing so, he broke out a pose that has become familiar over the past week.
