They are guessing that Mondo has a "Bubka Clause" in his Puma contract that means he does NOT get paid a bonus every time he improves the WR by a centimeter.
I'd love to know if that is true. I have to imagine he gets a bonus from every meet at which he sets a new record, at a minimum.
AI disagrees with them, by the way: "Mondo Duplantis's contract with Puma does not have a publicly disclosed total value but includes performance-based bonuses for breaking his own world records, with some sources indicating he earns between $30,000 and $100,000 from Puma for each record, in addition to what World Athletics provides."

Today is the big day! Can Nuguse and Hoey qualify for Tokyo? We'll find out soon!
The discus competition is underway, so we can now discus!
Anyway to stream it in the US besides on Flotrack?
I’m just watching the Flotrack Athlete’s Lounge stream on YouTube but muted the audio. I can’t stand the yapping. The live stream is clear and it’s free so I’ll take what I can get.
Pretty sure he has a bonus. He has been asked directly in an interview why he does the 1cm thingy he does and he answered "money" or something like that.
Is the international feed on youtube occasionally dropping out for anyone else? Last time it happened was when they were lining up for the women's 3000
