mondo is the usain of pole vault.
***edit: didnt realize there was such a prominent anti-mondo sentiment out there. Of course im aware he is a swedish medalist, and that doesn’t matter to me at all.

In the sense that he plays sports for another country, I agree
Posted on 8/6/24 at 9:24 pm to gerkin
Would he be standing on a second place podium?

Weird. Guess im naive and not lurking enough, but i didnt realize there was such a prominent anti-mondo sentiment. I really dont care that his medals are for sweden

I've been saying for three years now that he is the fourth member of LSU's Mt Rushmore along with Pete, Shaq and Joe...forget about it.

No human deserves a statue. It’s a weird way to honor people.

He was here one year and didn’t even win NCAAs
Putting him on our Rushmore is taking a quantum leap over the shark

Not true. He won the NCAA indoor pole vault in 2019.
He was second in the outdoors that year.

Absolutely not

I love mondo but he was at LSU for a single year not to mention the track program deserves so much better for facilities to prioritize a statue.
If he made a fortune and donated to LSU, we should be all for it happy he’s a tiger but LSU track has a long history of great athletes and people that do not have statues. He did win an NCAA individual title but Xavier Carter won 4 in a single day. Baw is a thug but he’s Jesse Owens level goat. Muna Lee won 7 individual national titles and I believe two team titles. There are others around the program statue worthy.

Would you inscribe the statue in English or his preferred language of Swedish?

Statues… we talkin bout statues.

Remind me again how many nattys Shaq and Pete won...
Sometimes individual greatness outshines the team's performance.
Shaq was transcendent, even though the team didn't win.
Pete was phenomenal, even though the team didn't win.
Mondo reaches that same rarified air. Literally.

This is a valid point.
The whole Swedish issue is irrelevant to any LSU discussion.
