going by Armand now.
is mondo a childhood nickname?


Yes, Armand Gustav Duplantis.

quote:

watching him on the run up he looks the fastest I ever saw. the others all look slower by a lot.


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.
