I’ll accept that, when you agree it’s likely the same for him in Sweden and Europe regarding pay. You can’t argue he has more marketability in Sweden as a pole vaulter and then argue against his marketability in the USA.


I guess the argument could be does he make more having consistent marketability in Sweden with pole vault being popular more than just during the Olympics in Sweden vs what he would make with marketability in the USA once every 4 years when Olympic sports like pole vaulting have some relevancy.

I do think a lot on the board have purple and gold blinders on when thinking Mondo would have more widespread popularity in the USA if he competed for Team USA.
