Here is a progression that vaulters from the early days of fiberglas poles were faced with (Cornelius Warmerdam notwithstanding!) -I was a pole vaulter from the 60s at Lehigh, and having started in 8th grade in Pittsburgh, PA chilly temps most often with bad weather, with poles made of bamboo, then Swedish steel, aluminum and finally fiberglas (Browning Siliflex), and.. landing pits-landing in fairly flat sawdust pits, in which you had to pitch fork the material into a pile to land more softly, then foam pieces in saw dust, then graduating to foam in a net, then in college, netted foam, air bags, then finally pits with aprons, and.. standards with wings. I am so enjoying watching Mondo's progression and fearless attitude toward height progression. Fantastic young man! Stay healthy, keep your head on straight and vault toward the sun!!! Congratulations!!! Al Banes
The future of pole vaulting is going to be insane! So many talented, young pole vaulters right now. Armand Duplantis, Pål Haugen Lillefosse, Emmanouil Karalis, Sasha Zhoya, Matvey Volkov, Sondre Guttormsen, and Simen Guttormsen. The face-offs are gonna be fantastic!
6 years: a little bit less than 6' (WR, just one year later, after beginning, with 7' 8"!) 20 years: a little bit more than 20' (WR, with 6,17 m [may be more in Tokyo ?] !! 6 → 6; 20 → 20 : that's elementary, my dear Lisa (sorry ... my dear Watson ...).
Feels weird to see a guy that you know only from TH-cam videos win a European Championship with a (junior) world record. It's almost like Veritasium suddenly winning the Nobel Price in physics or something😂🤣
I look forward to this being updated after the phenomenal 6.17 WR set by Armand in Torun, Poland, a few hours back! He literally peaked today! I hope he can keep his form, health and nerves in check for the rest of the year - really looking forward to the Olympics. He will be hard to beat and in current form, almost unbeatable!
Magnifique ce perchiste que je viens de découvrir au championnat d'Europe de Berlin 2018. Pourquoi pas attaquer le record du monde au Mémorial vandame en septembre , il en a largement les capacités 😊
I remember seeing his dad break a pole in summer meet... I think it was in Ruston, LA, but not sure. Fun to watch this kid grow up; he's an amazing talent.
Georg Horine...Mondo first tried pole vaulting as a four-year-old at the family's home in Lafayette, Louisiana, and took to the event rapidly. His father was a former Pole Vaulter, both his older brothers were Pole Vaulters, but one of the brothers gave up Pole Vaulting, in high school, for Baseball ⚾️ Even his younger sister is a Pole Vaulter.
@@TonyFisherPuzzles Dead right Tony I was just speaking for myself and my continent-the Yanks have always stuck to their outdated imperial measurements!
In what Universe do you keep world records in feet and inches? In particular in respect to a Swedish athlete -- Sweden like most civilized countries went metric more than a century ago. Are you going to keep 6.18 in feet and inches the new world record? DUH!
As far as I know, I jumped ±10 feet (the roof of my home) at 10 years old with a bamboo pole, running 30 feet. With no spikes (bare foot), no pit, landing on the grass. No training, one day I went to the river in Puerto Rico, and cut a bamboo and brought to home. No witness, no photo, or video and no trainer. I used to play baseball and basketball occasionally. At the university I jumped 15’6” because I borrowed a pole from my friend. I started to train in my second semester of my second year. I used to have only two old Cata Pole poles, that’s all. ;)

Kudos to his Mom that she let the two of them continue after the first broken pole... As a mother i need to say, this Lady has got some cochones...❤
Now 6.18m WR, 20' 3 1/4", in Glasgow!
As a freshman in HS, he was beating my college best by a foot. Unbelievable!!! His 16'8" as a freshman was amazing.
Amazing to watch, and I’ll follow him on his path 🇸🇪❤️
Kids a world record holder now... good job dad :)
Just broke Bubka's outdoor WR! This kid is insane.
I look forward to this being updated after the phenomenal 6.17 WR set by Armand in Torun, Poland, a few hours back!
He literally peaked today! I hope he can keep his form, health and nerves in check for the rest of the year - really looking forward to the Olympics. He will be hard to beat and in current form, almost unbeatable!
And now he has 6.18, which looked more like 6.25 or 6.30.

Very well done young man!
World record was his destiny 💥
Renault Lavelnie 10:09 ?
William Nestor yep that was him
William Nestor yes
This man polevaulted 7 feet at the age 6 I’m in jr. high and I can hardly get 7 feet
Simply amazing! A joy to watch!
How tall is mondo and what does he run the 100m in?
Dd Hh he’s 5’11 and I know he went to states his senior year in high school for the 100 in Louisiana, it was around 10.3
PunPun Sure buddy
jesus christ mondo is a super human
matthew doom yep he is
I'm only pole vaulting 10ft as a 14 year old
isaac vaults that’s still really good- this kid has been training since 6- most kids don’t start till 14 or 15
Amazing
BRAVISSSIMO !!!
Also why does he jump for Sweden if he lives and grew up in America...
anyone else notice the y axis 'heihgt' ?
Not a single meet took place in Sweden ... hmmm.
why did you want that mondo started when he was a 6-7?

Great except for us Europeans you really ought to bracket in metres!
The whole world uses metres for athletic events so not just Europeans.

Also I jumped 11'6" feet, with only one step and the pole in the hole at the university. ;)
Wow youre cool arent you
Stupid imperial system.
For someone representing Sweden he speaks almost zero Swedish.......
He's still half swedish.
He might speak a little since his mother is Swedish and Mondo chose to compete for Sweden.
