re: Mondo Sets NEW WORLD RECORD

I feel like he should have done 6.26.

Who won silver and how close were they

Dgaf about any ungrateful tool that doesn’t want to rep the best country in history.

Totally repped LSU and Tiger Stadium. Was awesome.

Damn, Sergey Bubka set the record 17 times over 10 years for a total of 12". His last was held for nearly 20 years.

Mondo is at 9 records for 3.5" in 4.5 years.

Mondo gets paid every time he sets a record. There is no reason for him to push the distance every. He just needs to break it by the min height every time to keep getting paid.

Did y’all know Mondo lived partially in Sweden growing up. These freaking people I swear. Maybe he visited his grandparents there. The dude literally knew little to no Swedish before moving there.

“I hate that we lost him to Sweden, I wish we could get him back to American one of these days,” Kendricks says, half-jokingly, about Duplantis, who grew partially in Louisiana and part-time in Sweden, as a dual citizen.“

It's easy to understand: the USOC's rules makes it harder/ risker for all U.S. athletes to qualify for the Olympics. ALL the American athletes, male & female, all events, hate those rules. An athlete can have great training sessions, over the pre Olympic yrs, one "off" day while trying to qualify & it's one & done for that athlete . Has to wait another 4 years. Too, very few have financial support while training all those yrs. Mondo spent 14 yrs training & prepping for the Olympics, went to LSU....and competed....for his freshman yr, to be on campus with his brother. His parents were both athletes at LSU as well.

I was listening to a radio news story about Mondo today. They mentioned that he gets a pile of cash each time he breaks the record, so when breaking his own record, it behooves him to move it up a small amount so that he will have the opportunity to break it again and get paid each time at the future competitions.

He is Literally the meaning of GOAT of his sport NO ARGUMENTS!
