Lafayette native Mondo Duplantis lifted his pole vault world record to 6.28 meters at a Diamond League meet at the Olympic Stadium in the Swedish capital on Sunday.
The Olympic and world champion added a centimeter at his first attempt to the previous record he set at the end of February in France. When converted to American measurements Duplantis cleared 20 feet, 6 inches.
It was the 12th pole vault world record for the 25-year-old Swede, who also competed for LSU, and the first time in front of home fans.
Before the Stockholm meet, Duplantis said setting a world record at home was one of his dreams. Duplantis competes for his mother’s native Sweden.
“It’s a magical feeling,” Duplantis said. “I wanted it so bad," he said. “I kept saying it was the only thing I was missing. Now, I’m done. I can just chill.”

Has he just been breaking his own record over and over?

He should be pole vaulting for the United States of America.

The USOC should change its qualification rules in line with the rest of the world's. Every U.S. Olympic qualifier / Olympian has complained about this dumb rule. Plus, he is & has been for years, a dual US/ Swedish citizen.

Mondo is a native born US citizen. Because his mom is a native born Swedish citizen, Mondo is a Swedish citizen as well.
IF the USOC would allow Mondo to have his coach (his dad is well-qualified), Mondo would be competing under the US flag. Obviously, Mondo's dad knows what he is doing as he has trained Mondo since he was a boy.
As a proud Louisianan, I celebrate Mondo's achievements. He is a Louisiana guy.

For no compensation and little recognition. How about becoming a national hero, reviered in all of Europe, make a Shi*ton of $$, and having a smoking hot Swedish GF.

He would be if the US would match the opportunities and perks Sweden offers. The US shunned Mondo, not the other way around.
