On a serious note, when they introduced Mondo, the broadcast showed his last WR vault and then showed a monument in Sweden that moves every time he sets a new WR.

He has surpassed Zlatan as Sweden's most popular athlete.

If he vaulted for America, no one outside of Louisiana would think about him except for a month every four years.

He made the right decision.

Yeah the decision is a no brainer. One mistake on the wrong day could end his Olympic hopes, and then it's another 4 year waiting period.

No matter how many times he breaks his own WR, his best accomplishment is still his Swedish model girlfriend.

Doesn't he get a bonus every time he breaks the WR, so he breaks it by like a centimeter each time?

Was a big part of his decision back in 2015. Do you have other info?

I want to point this out as the most ridiculous statement in two threads

Zlatan has 65 million followers on instagram

Mondo has 612 thousand
