How much do world records matter?

Sweden’s Armand Duplantis joins More Than The Score to chat about his record-breaking heights in athletics

For many sports stars breaking a world record is a lifetime achievement, but for Olympic champion Armand "Mondo" Duplantis it is becoming a habit.

The Swede broke his own pole vault world record for a 13th time in August with a clearance of 6.29m.

He joins More Than The Score ahead of the Tokyo World Athletics Championships to discuss his incredible achievements.

Hosts Ed Harry and Ade Adedoyin are joined by US athletics commentator, Larry Eder to discuss Duplantis’ feats, how they are viewed by his competitors, whether he is devaluing the record and if there are some records that will never be beaten?
