Watch: Former LSU Track & Field Star Mondo Duplantis Sets New Pole Vault World Record

He clearly has the height to clear 21 feet. It’s all about hitting his plant and release points perfectly, and having the bar at the right depth, so that he doesn’t hit the bar going up or coming down. I wish somebody could just offer him $1 million to clear 21 feet, so he would just go ahead and do it! As long as he keeps getting a bonus for each record, he will be breaking it 1/4” at a time. Lol.

Amazing. Bravo sir.

He celebrates like a tiger

I want to see him in the ddcathLon. He would win the 100, pole vault, 400, and long jump. The discus and shot put would be his only bad events.

I bet he can throw a javelin but again, he would have to change his body style which would come with age anyway.

The upgrades to that stadium looks amazing.

His hips cleared by at least a foot. He's gonna play the long game on this one and I don't blame him.

He kind of looks like Chris Kattan.

Pole vaulting (especially at anything near that height) has to be one of the craziest events in all of sports... Geaux Swedish Tiger!

Mondo sets a new world record at least once a month.

Dude is clearing by a foot to a meter, he'll be at it for a while yet.

Jeesus y'all are salty AF. Be happy for the guy that came to LSU. Buncha unathletic fcks in this thread.

Where is your American flag?? Punk!!

Wrong board. Let us know when he’s ready to rep America again instead of Sweden.

It seems criminal that a baw from Lafayette named Duplantis is breaking world records and Sweden gets all the credit.

Hot take: this guy is pretty good at jumping with a pole

He good. The random front flip was pretty impressive as well.
