Mondo's clearly a generational talent (Bubka for at least the next 4yr OLY Cycle given his insane longevity from '81 - '01, 7 WC/OLY Golds & 35 WRs is still the PV GOAT imo esp when you consider he couldn't compete @'84 OLY due to the Soviet Boycott & the WC were every 4yrs back then unlike today), but PV has the in-built advantage of being able to break the WR 1cm at a time which is perfect for Mondo to collect those WR Bonuses! 10.08 (+0.3) - 10.24 (+1.6) is SWE's All-Time 100m Top 5 range, with more training & good legal tailwind, want to see Mondo go for at least the #5 spot as he's got a high 10.1/low 10.2s in him for sure. That event needs to be held annually after the WC in Sep with a 'bigger card' that includes a number of match-ups; - Femke wants to race Keely in a 600m race, add in new 600m WR Holder Mary Moraa & Athing Mu in that race and that WR goes again! - 300m race between any of Tebogo, Noah, MHS, Fred, Kenny, Gardiner, Norman & Jereem - 300m race between any of Gabby, Syd, Femke, Paulino, Shaunae, Shericka, Rhasidat & Klaver - 100m race between the big JAM Throwers; Rajindra Campbell, Roje Stona & Fedrick Dacres
in regards to the womens 300m thats a slam dunk for Sydney as nobody can stay with her, she only lost in the last 50m to Paulino cos she ran outta steam, more training and more 400m races against real talent and she will be untouchable
@@judsdragon Ppl need to seriously calm down cos even as a Syd fan; - a healthy Shericka with 10.65/21.41 speed & 49.47 strength could more than stay with Syd in a 300m race. - a healthy Shaunae with 10.98/21.74 speed & 48.36 strength could more than stay with Syd in a 300m race. - a healthy Gabby with 11.00/21.60 speed & 49.68 strength could stay with Syd in a 300m race.
Not to mention it's an equipped event. Give Bubka the carbon pole they are now using then I don't think Mondo would have won a WR yet with 6.26... Also they can adjust depth of the bar and review their jumps in real time now. Big advantages. The sprints basically haven't change, same with the jumps and throws
@@q12aw50 LOL sure bro, that's why he did 6.14 30 years ago... Because he can't get to 5.95m with better poles 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Unless you meant he can't get to 5.95 in 2024 at 60 years old ? 🤔
Yeah like a lot of decathletes can be fast, but you can see they don’t look as natural as the pure sprinters, Mondo however looked completely at home and very natural
Rai was a runner for his native Antigua & Barbuda in 2013 at the World Youth Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine, when he was still in high school in the US. He went on to represent Antigua twice more in 2015 at the Carifta Games in St. Kitts and Nevis as well as the World Relays in the Bahamas.
Whats great about grant is he was good at both short and long sprints. I think in highschool he ran some 500m events and he was a 43 second 4x400m runner as well as a solid 3rd leg 4x100 runner and starter as we saw early this year
Wish other athletes would try other stuff. Classic example is Matthew Boling. He will never win the 100m, 200m, at USA's. But would possibly have a chance in the decathlon if he trained for it. He has the 400m, long jump, etc background.
He has relatives who are also phenomenal athletes. When I was Catholic High (graduated in 1984) either his father or uncle was also a phenom in the pole vault. His family are athletes. Representing Southwest Louisiana.
MONDO has finally realised POLE VAULT is not a crowd-puller. The sprints are the main attraction. If he want to challenge himself then THE DECATHLON is the ultimate test.. 10 events in 2-days, ending with a gruelling 1500 metre!!
@@jameschristenbury2625 Amen. Decathlon is insane they need all the athletics abilities, godlike coordination and also the capacity/body resilience to be able to chain 10 events in 2 days. That's why they should always be on the last 2 days of the big championships imho, and end the competitions to get more exposure
Having attempted pole vaulting in high school along with competing in the LJ, TripleJ, 100m, 200m, 400m, 4x100m and my first freshman and sophomore, the mile and 2 mile, I can conclude that speed is what is needed to be a sucessful as Duplantis in the pole vault. Speed helps give you the momentum you need at all phases of the pole vault. Speed helps with the LJ and the TripleJ.
Yes, speed is definitely an essential component in pole vault. For example: former pole vault legend Sergey Bubka ran 100m 10.2 and in his autobiography he admits that at least once he managed to clear 6.30-6-35 during his training, over rubber band bar. Many people keep saying that the reason why his official world record wasn't better than 6.15, was the fact that he decided to make more money - by setting the bar every time only 1cm higher (just like Duplantis does).
I see people argue that duplantis broke his war so many times bc he can control it but Warholm doesn’t have an insane lead on other times in the 400mh but duplantis can casually pole vault higher than anyone else still active and even in history.
Once Mondo achieved the gap at the gun it looked like Warholm was able to maintain the same distance for the rest of the way, giving no more ground. A win is a win but it seems their top ends are very close to equal.
Rob, ok, I watched this all the way through. Quite a good video, and you did some good research and presented some good perspectives. Just a couple of things: The title is ridiculous - you really need to think of a more honest title for this. The second thing is Duplantis, 27th fastest Swedish performance of all time with that 10.37s btw, is exceptionally strong in his core and in his upper arms which, when coupled with his speed on the runway, means he can hold and bend bigger poles and hence clear greater heights. In other words, he is specifically trained for the pole vault event, just as you would expect.
Hey Coach! Newbie question here... and a bit unrelated, so I apologize... but have you done a video giving us your thoughts on the new Grand Slam League coming next year? Do you think people will watch? CAN we even watch? Great vid as always, Coach! Mondo is a beast!!
Sergey Bubka was also a 100m man , and Bubka broke the world record 35 times. Nike was giving Bubka a cash bonus for each world record he broke, and he milked it. I think Duplantis has the same kinda Nike deal. That is why Duplantis clears the world record a centimeter at a time. Can't blame them for milking the Nike money. Both men are very fast sprinters.
I think I read that he (Mondo) only gets one WR bonus per year from Nike, so not the same deal as Bubka. I think there are other reasons to just raise it by 1 cm at a time. E.g. that it increases the possibility of success (which also increases his market value if he often ends up jumping on WR heights with a fair chance of succeeding now and then). It's also sort of become customary as well, since Bubka's days. Everyone seems to be doing it now, in both pole vault and high jump.
We might hope for him to run for US as he grew up here, trained here, and has an American dad. Still, I'd probably rather live in Sweden these days, too. I wonder how he'd do in the middle distance races. His next fun race against Ingebrigtsen in the 1500?
He is holding back, and has broken the world record many times, in small increments because there is a bonus in track and field (in some competitions) if you win with a new world record. But, it might prevent us from seeing his full potential in his prime. As he gets older, or is injured, he might start to decline. He is capable of so much more right now, but he is in a sport where pro athletes are (relatively) underpaid, with so few making most of the money compared to pros in other sports.
From a physiologist's perspective would love to know muscle fiber %'s of specific muscles and other anthropometric measurement details. Thanks for the video.
The only problem with this analysis is that most of the truly elite athletes would never pole vault. If some of our elite sprinters found value in this event I don’t believe he would be the absolute best.
Well it’s not like the USA is starved of top class sprinters. (From your arrogance I assume you are from the USA) or of athletes wanting to win gold medals, so if a USA athlete was really good enough at pole vault it would have happened by now (and he is American anyway)
A lot of short events that are not the 100m are dominated by people that are not good/elite at the 100m. If elite sprinters started training for other events and became technically good, the elite sprinters would break most of the records. What if a 9.8 guy did the pole vault? I would like to see Matt Boling train for and do the 800m.What would that look like with the right fitness?
Of course he can sprint. The speed at takeoff is essential to bend the pole and achieve the height. If a pole vaulter did not have the "endurance" to run a100m fast, he would not be able to make multiple vaults in a competition. As a similar example Jonathon Edwards was almost world class at 60m without a block start. when he set the triple jump record. Over 30m he was untouchable. They TRAIN for that speed as well as the technical part of their event. However the pole vault IS a much appreciated event world wide. Perhaps Americans just have short attention spans to match the availability of good sprinters in the area, so they don't see it the same..
I'm not that surprised, there are a lot of sport that even if they are not about running need a lot of speed to be good. Pole Vault and long jump are 2 of them. The speed is what will translate power into the pole, and long jump even if you have good elevation, if you don't have speed, you won't go far. Mike Powell also had a pretty decent 100m time. His highschool time was 10.45 which seems not that good but at the time he did his long jump WR, in the same competition Carl Lewis set the WR at 9.86. So Mike Powell was closer to the 100m WR that Duplantis is from the 100m WR today. So bottom line you can't be at the top of the pole vault or long jump if you don't run fast
Honestly, nobody really chooses pole vault. It just happens or you had money growing up, because no regular schools had pole vault. If the same amount of people had the opportunity as they do with running, the records would be much higher. Just like if African athletes had the money, funding and no corruption African countries would dominate everything, literally everything
For some reason I highly doubt a 10.3x sprinter at age 24 can go sub 10 with "proper" 100m training. He's already running nearly 40m Whose been able to do that?
Thank you for your comment. But running one race doesn’t mean that if your best possible time. Noah Lyles failed to break 10 in his first 100m of this season. But he still went 9.79 later. That was after a full season running the 60 m dash. Using that as a benchmark Mondo could at least run 10.17 this year conceivably with more races for example.
@@SCATrackandField I'll accept that. On any given day people's performances varies. Weather, jet lag, what you ate in the morning etc. I'm sure there's a study somewhere what the typical performance "gain" is as you run thru a season and set your training to peak during the championship month. Of course from time to time, we see outliers, early in the season...PB's etc also get set. I've noticed on several occasions (no statistics just eyeballing it) - many performances during the US trials was better than their world champs/olympics performances. Despite having similar format of rounds etc.

Pole vaulting has the advantage of determining what height to attempt once you've won it and stopping when you want. WR, stop. WR, stop. repeat.
True, just like high jump
