He is by far the best pole vaulter in the world.
But what does Armand Duplantis really think about the most Swedish thing we have.
Now “Mondo” admits his innermost feelings for “Melodifestivalen”.
Few can measure up Armand Duplantis huge track record already as a 24-year-old. He has won every major gold medal that can be won in athletics – several times over too.
Duplanti’s show
“Mondo” has also broken seven world records as a pole vaulter and is well on his way to becoming the sport’s foremost performer of all time. The Swedish world star has been unstoppable for several years and is now aiming for the summer Olympics in Paris in 2024.

But already tonight, it’s time for Duplantis to give the audience a real performance during their own gala “Mondo Classics” in Uppsala.
– We try to make it more like a show than a normal athletics competition. Because it can get a bit boring sometimes and pole vaulting is the best event and the coolest event, he says in an interview with Radiosporten.
– It means everything to me to have my own gala, it has been a dream since I was little. It’s a bit more pressure, of course, but in a great way and I like the pressure.
Mondo about Mello
After that, the interview goes on a completely different show that is highly topical in Sweden right now – namely “Melodifestivalen” on SVT. Mondo has never grown up with the immensely popular singing competition, as all of us Swedes did, as he lived in the USA for most of his life.

But after he chose to compete for Sweden as a teenager, Duplantis has also opened his eyes to “Mello”, as it is popularly called. And now the pole vault star gives his honest view on what he really thinks about the SVT program.
– Is it possible now? Ah okay. Yes, but I’ll look into that a bit more. I checked a bit last year and it was a lot of fun. So fun to follow and watch, so I’ll do that, Mondo admits to the radio channel.
