How Did America Lose Mondo?

I bet if Nike were to give him a contract similar to Sha'carri's 20mil/5yr in order to respresent the US, he would sign that contract faster than you can tie your shoe laces.

hello, the kenyan.

i believe the answer revolves somewhere around the axis of "Americans don't care about pole vault, and by proxy, pole vaulters." or maybe i should say "the American system" rather than "Americans"

in America, he's just another record setting gold medalist in an event that people aren't very familiar with or in love with. Hello Ryan Crouser.

In Sweden, he is HIM. As the young people like to say.

Good riddance. Pole vault is a fake sport made up by some 19th century half wit who misinterpreted the Dutch people using poles to cross creeks and ponds.

That actually works, you know. Try it next time a creek is too big to jump over

Does he have an Swedish accent when speaking English?

Question to you: How did Kenya lose so many medals?

Answer: Anti doping testing

Thank you AIU and keep up the good work.

I read somewhere that he has unique endorsement opportunities in Sweden.

The Scandis were able to sweden the deal.

Easy, have you seen his girlfriend?

Track and Field is actually mainstream in Europe. Imagine every European meet having thousands of fans going crazy for you while in America they’re like Mondo who? What the heck is a Mondo? lol

America is about meathead football and redneck politics. Why the heck would he want to represent that.

Mother er Russia posts some weird anti-America fetish content. Maybe you should focus on your failed invasion which could lead to a Ukrainian takeover of your little dictatorship.

We know what you're trying to say here, but your fallacy is in thinking that the pole vault is of any significance to your typical American. Hint - it's about as meaningful as racewalking. And that's not a knock on Mondo, it's just that most people could not care less one way or the other.

Which "America" lost him? North America? Central America? South America?

it’s like a light Cajun accent with an even slighter Nordic twang (like the way Jakob talks or, more accurately, pewdiepie, who has less of an accent)

How did Kenya lose you, a white, middle-aged Spaniard?

Ahoj Coevett!
