Absolutely underrated channel rn. This "videogame Speedrun" format for these types of vids is amazing. God tier content man. Love some of the synthwave summoning salt inspired music hahah. Keep it up!!
I can't even imagine what Mondo's appearance fee is. He has made the Pole Vault the premier event at any meet he is in and why the Pole Vault is usually near the end of the event. As a promoter if you have Mondo at your event you can be assured of a sell out in the stands and also a sell out in advertising.
Totally agree. You never know what tomorrow may bring, there are no guarantees in life. Imagine PURPOSELY holding back your best for future record breaking attempts, only to get into a car crash one day and become a quadriplegic. You could end up living the rest of your life in a wheelchair thinking "damn, I should have...." Give it everything you got while you still can, tomorrow isn't promised to anyone!
Pole vaulted in high school in 1977, held the school record at 14 ft. Now with all the pole materials and technology, 17 and 18 feet in high school is possible. The reason that mondo can and will be the best in the world is very simple, he is the fastest pole vaulter in the world. Speed translates into height in the pole vault. He uses larger poles and holds higher than any other vaulter right now. He should create all the records within the next few years because at a certain point, his speed will decrease even by tenths of a second.
Indoor there isn’t any wind, is a more ideal temperature, just has factors that would make them more then likely to vault higher. Same goes for other events. Outdoors there could be wind that could affect their speed, jump, and the temperature could also have an impact.
Arguably, Sergey Bubka (Ukraine) who jumped nearly as high 30 yrs.ago with somewhat less efficient equipment. It would be interesting to see what Bubka could have done with today's poles.
@@davida.4933 the poles are virtually identical except for personal preference. They both use(used) 5.10-5.30m glass fiber UCS spirit poles. The only thing separating their performances is the progress of time.
@@davida.4933I’d say Bubka can still claim kingship. He held both the indoor and outdoor world records (breaking them himself, but not letting anyone else do so) for almost 30 years. Except for the fact that he only ever won one Olympic gold medal, it’s hard to think of a major track and field event that has ever been dominated for so long by one athlete.
He could have gone over 6,30 a long time ago but it's better to do it like this for viewers and long term excitement. More dollars if you do it like this.
sergey would never be able to do what mondo has done hes the king all right but the new prince is surely going to end up a better king when mondos career is done
@@VeridicusMaximuswhen you actually butcher relatively easy names you should be called out. I understand not being able to pronounce Pia Skrzyszowska but jan zelezny is ridiculous
There was a lot of factors for that not just that his mother is swedish.. He's brother competed for Sweden. Sweden would let his father still be his coach. His father and him had much more freedom to decide things. His father was also "official National team Swedish trainer" in competitions and all that. Sweden has easier try-outs to Olympics. He can focus on becoming the best. Not as in US he has 1 competition he needs to be good at. If he fails he won't go to Olympics and so on. Sweden offered him a better deal overall. They let him do his things and check how far it has taken him. I know for a fact in US that there is a lot of politics and bureaucracy and people trying to meddle with everything. I can garantee that if he would have competed for the US national team he would not have had the success he has had now with all the world records

6:09 imagine a high schooler running 19.49 & 19.6 in the 200 😭
This was such a good video.

this man used to make rhythm game videos/documentary, he has a lot of experience and has really refined it. i respect him.
i agree
But Sergei Bubka is now making money on the blood of Ukrainians. He trades various goods with Russian thugs.
Not the prince he is the 🤴🤴king
Yes l agree 100%❤

Phenomenal editing, kept me so intrigued throughout the whole video like always. You’re the best!
This guy is a miracle. I have been watching him for a while now. Every where that he goes to compete I try to watch. Great great pole vaulter.
A true Pole Vault Goat!
This dude's got ice in his veins. Another banger, Boi -- keep it up.
Such a great summary of Duplantis' career!
the crazy part is its not even a summary because he is barely in his prime he has so much left
Prince ?!?!?! The right word would KING of the pole vault .
Awesome music choice! Really gave the video a lot of life. Editing was awesome too!
He should not hold back. He is in his prime and should push himself as far as possible at this time. The records he sets now could be his legacy.

shocked that this channel only has 8.6K subs, hoping more people find you, great video
keep up the good work, I bet the algorithm will eventually bring in many people. stay on the grind!
This is such a good video!
He is not the Prince..he is the KING!
Love these new videos Brandon. Keep up the amazing work you absolute legend 👑🔱
Absolutely INSANE
Man I love Pole Vault. So glad you made a video about it!
genuinely awesome video!
Amazing Young man 🇸🇪 bästa killen någonsin ❤
Awesome video !
He is not the prince, He is the KING of the vault! 👑🇸🇪
and now he's smashed the 6.20 mark on multiple occasions
Great vid
The KING of the Pole Vault

He should create all the records within the next few years because at a certain point, his speed will decrease even by tenths of a second.
I remember when Lavillenie passed the torch pretty much, you could feel it was sth. special even watching on tv only when Duplantis jumped 6,05
dude's insane
Potato footage for the 6.21 jump?
And he broke the world record indoors again
Amazing viseo
He is nummber one, if he is that l don’t call him a prince! He is a king! of cours!
Whats the difference between indoor and outdoor
Indoor there isn’t any wind, is a more ideal temperature, just has factors that would make them more then likely to vault higher. Same goes for other events. Outdoors there could be wind that could affect their speed, jump, and the temperature could also have an impact.
And now he has 6.24!
14:55 yeat 😭😭😭😭
Geaux Tigers!
I'm not familiar with this sport. But if he is the undisputed WR holder and is the Prince, then who is the King?
Arguably, Sergey Bubka (Ukraine) who jumped nearly as high 30 yrs.ago with somewhat less efficient equipment. It would be interesting to see what Bubka could have done with today's poles.
Mondo is now the king, but the Prince of Pole Vault’ has a better ring to it than the ‘King of Pole Vault’ :)

Heja Sverige!!
14:45 imagine if he cleared the 6.19wr at the beat drop tho
Prince of the pole vault? Nah, he’s the KING 🤴
The prince? No, the king.

Bro casually states he put up mid 10s in the 100 💀
6.22 now
I know a kid who pole vaults 16’7 at the beggining for freshman year
Bears terrify me.
I'm pretty sure he's the king of the pole vault, but somehow alliteration always wins out.
ofc he cleared 6.19 to Yeat 😂
so fast
mondo 🥰
And Sergey is the King IMO
Not any more..
sergey would never be able to do what mondo has done hes the king all right but the new prince is surely going to end up a better king when mondos career is done
And Mondo is the Emperor IMO, Mondo breaks all the records of Bubka
Who is this Sergei guy? Its mondo time
Amasing and big job !! @v_vsslt
If he was born in America and lives in America why is he not competing as an American?
LSU graduate Geaux Tigers
Armand is my last name
Is this guy human?

Who's John Zelezny? JAN Zelezny is pronounced as a "y", not a English "j" sound. Good grief.
Go back to your basement, kid.
Really, an almost 20 min. vid and this is what you contribute as a response - LMAO!
@@VeridicusMaximuswhen you actually butcher relatively easy names you should be called out. I understand not being able to pronounce Pia Skrzyszowska but jan zelezny is ridiculous
@@mrnowak2835 Again, nothing wrong with pointing it out but when it's your only response to a 20 min. vid - ha - as you would say GOOD GRIEF!
Born in America gets all his training in America and calls himself a Swede. I do believe he can be legitimately called the GOAT of pole vaulting.
Stop malding.
There was a lot of factors for that not just that his mother is swedish.. He's brother competed for Sweden. Sweden would let his father still be his coach.

Oh please, get rid of that awful "goat" term. It means loser, not greatest of all time. Lose that effing term.
He wouldn't deny being an American dude
So much crying
He's great, but being a dick about it kinda washes out the party.
If your American then be an American
I mean his Mom is swedish
