MONDOOOOOOOOOO

Seems as if he sets a world record every event he goes to

Wish he was competing for US, but oh well, representing LSU!

That was actually close. I don't know if he can go much higher than that, or if any human ever will.

You mean Carmy

Loudspeakers playing ABBA is pretty funny

Nevermind that shite, HERE COMES MONDO!!!

Hold that Tiger!

I’m aware of that,He born and raised in America. That makes him AMERICAN in my book. I know it was for financial reasons to begin with, but it just don’t care for it.

You would've done the same thing if it was actually presented to you.

You're going to say you won't because this is a message board and it's easy to say no to a hypothetical, but you know damn well, you would do the same thing.

It was a smart decision no matter which way you look at it, but especially a smart decision from a financial and marketing standpoint. If anything, that's the most American thing to do.

I’m sure his dad getting to be his Olympic coach had something to do with it

Do you see how high he was above the bar? Not just today but most of the time. I’d bet he breaks the world record many times in practice. He could probably jump 4 inches higher now but is doing the very smart thing of only going for a centimeter at a time. It keeps bring in the fans, money and publicity.

I vaulted in a pole vault exhibition with him once. He was 8 and I was 62. He set an unofficial world record that day for 8 year old males and his sister set an unofficial world record for 5 year old females.
