Well judging by 80% of the responses in this thread, no one really does understand.


80% of the responses are repeating why he's competing for Sweden, a topic that has been discussed ad nauseam on this board since the day he started competing for Sweden. It's not a secret

How much money has Armand lost by not being a household name in the US?

He gets a bonus each time, so he does it incrementally. He could easily add another 10 or 15cm

A significant amount. Especially when he is 40+ and could do the motivational circuit.

BUT…BUT…BUT Team USA makes Athletes earn their Olympic Spots every year in a similar format for which the Olympics do to award Gold Medals.

Mondo is more popular in Sweden right now than a retired Zlatan. Like that's not even debatable... yet here you are

Wait. Someone is arguing that mondo is not the most popular person in Sweden right now?

you think a fricking pole vaulter, who realistically we'd only give a shite about every 4 years when the Olympics rolls around, would be a house hold name in the US??

Mondo is not remotely in the realm of consideration. Y’all are acting like Sweden is fricking Haiti

Sweden is the 5th largest country in Europe. 12th most populous. Giant sports country and a major world player across the board

I ask politely, how fricking retarded do you have to be to think the most popular athlete or person in Sweden would have only 615k instagram followers.


Think very fricking hard about it if you have to

Hope all these Mondo haters boo Joel Embid when they win the Basketball Gold. He should be hooping for Cameroon.


I think it’s very odd. Only thing that would make sense is if your country doesn’t even have a team or said team is not in even close to Olympic caliber. Which Team Cameroon is not.

If mondo didn’t go to lsu and was instead a 100m sprinter from Alabama with the exact same situation there would be no support for him on this site



I was just thinking about something similar: it’s going to be hilarious when some rural southern Louisiana kid gets waaaaaaaay more NIL money from some other school,
and every single person in this thread will shite on him for it. Even though it is essentially the exact same thing as what Mondo has done.

Lol. Everyone in Sweden knows about mondo whether they follow him or not.

Mondo is the most popular person in Sweden right now

You think Sweden news stations are running stories about a retired soccer player? lol
