@nbcbayarea: Mondo Duplantis on traveling with pole vaults poles: ‘I’m the center of attention when I walk into the airport’ #olympics #polevault #paris2024
not sure why people have an issue with him competing for sweeden. he was raised by a swedish mother, spent tons of time in sweeden growing up, speaks swedish fluently, etc.

They fly with them?! For some reason I thought the sticks were just already at the venue and you all use the same one

He does sound Swedish to me, it’s a subtle accent. Some words sound American, some Swedish

Just like Embiid decided to rep USA instead of France or Camaroon, Duplantis can rep which country he wants to as well.

Also other countries may support the athletes better in terms of housing, medical, coaching, and living expenses.

I know he’s basically American but many of the athletes live and work in the states with dual citizenship. Has to do with accessibility to top tier programs.

You guys. You can compete if you have citizenship to the country. He most likely has dual citizenship with Sweden
