What Mondo Duplantis JUST DID We’ve Never Seen Anything Like This!
You heard that clearly, right? Swedish-American pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis continues to exhibit his dominance in the sport! That ‘fire’ brought him to where he is today: a top athlete in the sport and a world record holder.
Armand "Mondo" Duplantis, born in Louisiana in 1999, has long been pegged as the one to watch in men's pole vaulting. But few, even among the most avid track and field followers, would have expected him to break the world record so quickly.
His obvious excellence in the sport is not too surprising, though, as he was born to an American pole vaulter father and a Swedish long jumper mother. Between the two, Mondo opted to compete internationally for his mother's home country. In 2015, barely even 16 years old, he won the world under-18 title; almost two years later he had already broken the under-20 world record with a clearance of 5.90m, attracting the attention of the great Sergey Bubka, a Ukrainian athlete and the first pole-vaulter to clear 6.1 meters.
