He won gold in Tokyo. 22 years old now and already considered the best ever.

1/4 of the way thru, when the pole is at maximum bend, I’m thinking he doesn’t have a chance. Just perfect form and execution. Actually looks like he gets an additional push off of the pole when pole is completely
vertical for that extra boost.

Mondo is a great little sh$&. LoL
I used to jump against his dad in the AAU.
Greg was a World Class Vaulter in the 80’s -early 90’s.
I have watched Mondo jump since he was 8yrs old.

Thanks for repping. NCAA finals on my bucket for next year.
Did you ever compete against Quinion or Vigneron?
I did not. They were older by about 10yrs.

Pole vault has been a French T& F “specialty” for many years.
