Mondo probably need to add 10 kilos or so AND improve his wind. But he’s be pretty decent even with a couple of bad events. He long-jumped 7.15 in high school without any real training. I reckon he could do 8 meters no problem. The throwing events could be a challenge.

I’ve seen her mess around with the long jumper & she was doing close to six meters without any training. Shot might not be a great event for her but I think she’s be adequate.

[@HQBergeron]

This was great! I raced a pole vaulter once. I was an intermediate hurdler like Warholm, but also ran high hurdles and was just out of high school. The pole vaulter was a collegian, or maybe had already graduated, I can’t remember. This was an All-Comers meet at Hayward Field, which I liked to run whenever I could during the summers. Anyway, I was always a quick starter and typically ran a 40 yd. dash in 4.45, so no slouch. So that day I decided to get in the open 100 yd. dash. It still wasn’t metric in those days. But this vaulter smoked me. He was gone in the first 20 yds. and I just watched him run away as I didn’t have anything like the top end speed he did. His name was Tinker Hatfield. That’s right, the famous Nike designer. He designed not only shoes, but the new Hayward Field, as he was trained as an architect at UO which had a fine, very demanding architecture department. So I can say I raced Tinker Hatfield at Hayward field. Not everyone can say that.

[@TheHuskyK9]

I don't think people understand how insane it is for Mondo to run 10.37s. Reminder, DK Metcalf ran 10.37s when he raced against other sprinters during his athletic prime and he's considered one of the fastest guys in the NFL. Mondo hasn't ran the 100m since high school yet he matched DK's time. For a non-sprinter, that is very fast

Holy crap, if Duplantis ever put in a half effort in the decathlon, he could be waaaaay up there. Easily the most technical event in decathlon is pole vault. He'd score 2000+ points in that event alone and could cruise some other events. With speed like that, long jump, 110 hurdles, 400m would be a cake walk. High jump would be nothing with that speed and body awareness from pole vault. he could just do a bit of work in shot and javelin and voila, you have a top ranked decathlete right there. Because like I said, His pole vault would net him such huge points he could go light on the throws and still win.

​@@infiniteimprovement His high school hurdles times suggest he wasn't close to running a 10.3. Now, without any track training, he's suddenly hitting that mark. Additionally, his FFMI is far above any natural threshold, even surpassing the most genetically gifted natural bodybuilders, with an extremely low body fat percentage. I disagree with the claim about drug testing. The NFL is likely one of the dirtiest sports when it comes to PEDs. He could have juiced up before joining and now maintains a mass he could never have built naturally thanks to muscle memory. While PED use is still present in track, it's clearly not as rampant as in the '80s and '90s. This is evident in two ways: Today's athletes are far less muscular and unnatural-looking compared to those in the '80s and '90s. Many female world records from that era remain untouchable. PEDs have a more pronounced effect on women, yet modern female athletes aren't even close to the records set by Soviet and East German athletes.

I was thinking about him too.

[@RickeGnool]

This was such a fun concept. Two incredible athletes who compete in a race where atleast on paper they are on fairly equal ground. I hope this can be done again.

[@ThoughtsEtcEtcEtc]

Two of my faves on the athletics scene

[@tevisbryant4840]

This was awesome!!!! I want more matchups like this….even the athletes were in the crowd enjoying this

[@ThomasLaang]

Man, that was a good start by Mondo.

[@phsm94]

Love it! Hope they promote more events like that!

[@gunnargronvall9385]

Great race Mondo , you won !! 👏😁❤️🇸🇪

[@axel_r_]

Duplantis has a past with 100m and he practices it for his pole vault runups. Warholm has also a past with 100m for many years his body is made for 400m hurdles. The muscle fibre setup is in Duplantis's favour. However, this was a close call and they both impressed everyone and it was great fun to watch. Hope to see more like this. Josh Kerr vs Jacob Ingebrigtsen next on 100m?

[@christinabronnestam8274]

Mondo said that people normally don't realize how much of his practice that is actually devoted to running. Everybody seem to think his practice is about trying 6.30 in heights ... but he never jumps very high in his practice, he works on technique, strength and speed. This will probably inspire other pole vaulters to focus more on speed as well, so that we get more pole vaulters over 6.20, eventually. Both Mondo and Karsten ran better than I thought they would, it was a great show. Mondo would have won silver at the Swedish Championship this year with this result!

[@jkdure]

@@christinabronnestam8274 They talked about this topic during the show event (tv experts) They said Mondo maintains his top speed the whole way while other vaulters slows down before the pole hitting the ground.

[@christinabronnestam8274]

@@jkdure I believe this race gave important information to other vaulters. Everybody already knows, of course, that speed matters, but this proved that it may matter MORE than people think in general, and that speed training should be practiced more by pole vaulters. It is fantastic to follow Mondo's progression and results, but it would be great if there will be other vaulters who can make 6.20 ... 6.30 ...

[@delta_tango_dt]

Mondo knows his way 🎉around the 100m. His start and drive phase would make any professional sprinter proud. He also held his form really well to the end. Great race by both but Mondo clearly had better technique.

[@runmaj]

This is the future of track and field. Nothing to lose or gain, no records to break, no real training is done, but "such a special moment" to see. So unfortunate this is where we're at, so far from true achievement: running faster than anyone ever has before... All in the name of money and sales

[@lookship]

10.37 is absolutely ridiculous

[@nemo6666]

Mondo our swedish hero 🙌🇸🇪💯

[@namesake7139]

They have successfully did what sprinters couldn't do when it came to a head to head race. Donovan Bailey vs Michael Johnson and Janeba Tarmoh vs Alyson Felix

[@hipNrip]

Was not expecting that. 10.37 is legitimately fast.

[@MichaelJohnson-wk8tk]

Awesome to see two of the GOATS race......fun.

[@OLCtv]

That start is what got it for em🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@alichaudhry12]

To put this in perspective the womens world record since 1988 is 10.49...both beat it and one absolutely shattered it

[@MrVpassenheim]

Shows you how strong Warholm is over 400m that he can run the hurdles in 45.94.

[@kezman82a]

Rolling start every 100 meters except the first.

[@nnenne4]

I want more of these races between 2 non sprinters running the 100m

[@europaeuropa3673]

They are professional track athletes with world records in their event.

[@EduardCoetzee-vg8ce]

Respect to these two

[@postmasterpez]

We will see Duplo on the podium for Decathlon in a few years...

[@yourpalfred]

This was such a fun idea!! Would love to see more of this!

[@askan300]

Mondo is a total beast! 😍💪

[@gatorfishin3079]

We need more of this. Brilliant!

[@christopherhogbring7771]

What an amazing athlete.

[@GLD516]

Anyone who went to high school with a good pole vaulter knows that those dudes are overall fantastic athletes.

[@letmejustsay]

He isn't a sprinter, he is a pole vaulter, he still beat the women's 100m world record.

[@TranelHawkins]

Why?

[@jojobizzaere1770]

Not surprising bro 😂😂😂.

[@catlanguage]

A female can never run as fast as a male on tracks ! That's why male and female sports are held separately.

[@rainman2984]

This is so cool! It really highlights how crazy athletic these guys are!

[@gtrdoc911]

Now we need to see them battle in the 200. That would be so close!

[@jakobjas4212]

I think Warholm would have that easy. Years of muscular endurance training.

[@sehu1291]

Nah duplantis would have no chance at the double distance. He is incredibly explosive thanks to pole vault but after 150 meter warholms stamina would easily catch mondo

[@gtrdoc911]

@@sehu1291 i'm not so sure. Most fast 100 people have a decent 200.

[@sehu1291]

@@gtrdoc911 yeah most 100m specialists. But he isn't a specialist. 200 meter is too long for a pole vaulter. For a short distance pole vaulters or long jumpers are faster than a 400m hurdles runner. But after 150m is over

[@mysteriousdoge1298]

Warholm woulld have destroyed Mondo. Mondo said he was starting to feelling it at 80m. 200m isn't as easy as 100m.

[@shamoriwall]

This race was EVERYTHING!
