    I watched an interview with Mondo's dad where they explained the rationale. Sweden wanted him to represent them from early on, but the dad was adamant he represent the US. Eventually, Sweden offered his dad a coaching position on the national team if Mondo would compete for Sweden, so now he competes for Sweden.

    Seems like it wasn't 100% Mondo's choice, it was made before he was the ultra-dominant athlete he is now, and as others have pointed out, he can compete for the country he chooses.

    I thought Greg was a lawyer. Why would he want to be an honorary Swedish coach?

    I would think that being a big fish in a small pond could be extremely good from him regarding money, as opposed to competing for the US.

    I believe the story about swedish team willing to do long term planning.

    It also doesn't hurt that in Sweden/Europe he's Lebron, while in USA he'd be Sam Kendricks.

    His mom is Swedish so he can easily represent Sweden, or the United States of America. But the guy can barely speak Swedish. Its a joke.
