If he was good enough to compete in Olympics for USA he would. Not meant as a jab, kid is young.
Check out the kids stats. I think the US would be more than happy to have him. He is the top ranked pole vaulter under 20 and I believe he is only 16 or 17.

His father was a phenomenal pole vaulter as well. For context, his best is roughly 5 feet higher than most quality high school vaulters.

Mondo (Jr. at Lafayette HS) with dad, Greg Duplantis (LSU All-American), after his national record clearance in New York. Greg is a former professional pole vaulter, and his PR is 19-01.25.
5.7m (18.7 ft.) is considered the "elite level" by which all PV'ers are judged. Kid is doing at just 16 yrs old, and he will likely jump 19' this year.
Once he turns PRO he will make way more $$$$ in Europe based on money paid by sponsors. Kid is very marketable and has a high upside b/c of his age and potential. I'm sure NIKE, UA, Puma, Addidas, etc... would love to sign this kid to an endorsdement deal.
