The highest outdoor pole vault (male) (outdoors) is 6.30 metres (20 feet 8 inches), achieved by Armand Duplantis (Sweden, b. USA) at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan, on 15 September 2025.

Armand Duplantis broke the men’s pole vault world record for the fourth time in 2025 – and the 14th time in his career – at the 2025 World Athletics Championships. A clearance of 6.15 m was enough to secure his third world championship title before “Mondo” soared over 6.30 m at the third attempt.
