going by Armand now.
is mondo a childhood nickname?
watching him on the run up he looks the fastest I ever saw. the others all look slower by a lot.

I wonder just how high could he jump..... if he really tried . Him "upping" his WR by 1 cm at a time and collecting his $$$ is good, but what if he gets hurt and never really jumps up to his true potential.
He is clearing the bar with lots of room to spare. I think he could jump 20' 8" easily. Is 21' possible for him?

At least he can compete without stupid USA qualifying rules where one mistake could mean no Olympics

If I remember correctly, he ran the 100 once his senior year in HS for the first time and clocked a 10.6 and has been timed at 10.3. He’s head and shoulders faster than anyone else in the pole vault.

Yes, Armand Gustav Duplantis.

Very fast. Speed is a key in generating the spring required to clear greater heights. Obviously form, strength, and equipment play a factor as well
His dad was also a pole Vaulter and relatively short for a vaulter. I think he was the shortest guy to clear 19 foot. His speed was also a factor in how high he could jump, his approach was very fast as well, if my memory serves.
