Watch Mondo Duplantis of Sweden Soar To Incredible World Record In Pole Vault At Olympics

Doesn’t everyone?

America’s Sam Kendricks won the silver medal and Emmanouli Karalis of Greece took the bronze.

After Duplantis had the victory sealed by clearing 6.10, he had the bar moved to one centimeter higher than the world-record height. Following his first miss, he used a break while Noah Lyles was receiving the gold medal for his 100-meter victory the night before, to study video evidence with his parents on a tablet.

Duplantis cleared the mark on his third and final try. It marked the ninth time the Louisiana-born 24-year-old, who competes for his mother’s native Sweden, has broken the record, but the first time at the Olympics.

No bulge?

R5. You either win the gold medal or have a big bulge.

You don't get both.

The Swedish flag has such lovely colors.

Explains the very un-Swedish vulgar showboating a la Zlatan. That boy has never learned the Jantelagen.

Was he punching the guy after hugging his girlfriend? It looked like a fight.

I'm assuming it was a stranger that had no business trying to get in on the celebratory hugging action.

PTM

Well, at least he didn't knock the bar over with his bulging genitals.

Too bad he didn’t compete for Norway. (sigh)

R12. Yes, a small to average, no-floppy dick wins gold.

I wondered why he was running around hyping the crowd and yelled fuck when he missed. Not very Swedish
