Mondo Duplantis stands as a towering figure in the world of athletics, particularly in the discipline of pole vaulting. As a dual citizen of Sweden and the United States, Mondo chose to represent Sweden on the international stage, a decision that has brought him immense success and global recognition. He has set world records both indoors and outdoors, with his most recent achievement being a record-breaking vault of 6.25 meters at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This accomplishment not only secured him his second Olympic gold medal but also solidified his status as the greatest pole vaulter in history.
Born into a family of athletes, Mondo was introduced to pole vaulting at a very young age and quickly began to dominate age group records. His early promise translated into a rapid ascent in the sport, culminating in significant victories such as the World Youth Championships and the European U20 title. By the age of 18, he had already cleared six meters, a feat that positioned him as a future star in athletics. His decision to represent Sweden internationally was driven by his deep connection to his mother’s heritage, and he fully embraced the culture and language, further endearing himself to Swedish fans.
Mondo's breakthrough on the senior circuit came in 2018 when he won his first European Championship and became the youngest athlete to clear six meters. This victory was a harbinger of the extraordinary accomplishments that would follow, including his first Olympic gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. His ability to consistently perform at the highest level has earned him multiple World Championship titles and numerous accolades, including being named the European and World Male Athlete of the Year.
