Men's pole vaulting champion Armand Duplantis is actually what happens if you were to leave Timothee Chalamet in Stockholm for too long.
Probably one of the moments where I cared least about the future is right now, soaking up this moment right now,
That’s just overflowed with emotions, freaking out,
I’ve visualised this moment a million times in my life. I mean, this is every time I was in my backyard,
This moment hasn't fully sunk in,
I tried to clear my thoughts as much as I could. The crowd was going crazy. It was so loud in there, it sounded like an American football game. I have a little bit of experience being in a 100,000-capacity stadium, but I was never the centre of attention. [I was] just trying to channel the energy everybody was giving me, and they were giving me a lot of it. It worked out."
The biggest dream since I was a kid was to break the world record at the Olympics
I think it's fair to say that if you live in Sweden and feel Swedish and it's enough,
In Sweden, we say that if you just stand on the right side of the escalator, you're Swedish,
Honestly, if I don't beat this moment in my career, then I'm pretty OK with that, you know
I’ve got to match his speed, but I don't think I'll ever be able to match it,
People in both places like crawfish,
But I'm probably gonna be shit, because I can already feel myself losing my voice,
He’s the fastest pole vaulter out there,
I haven’t processed how fantastic that moment was,
I spent years working on the 100m, but the 200 is where it's at,
I have worked really hard for the last year and I think you can see how much it meant to me when I crossed the line. I can't believe I have finally done it,
You know when Mondo Duplantis is competing, you are always on world record watch,
What’s most impressive about Mondo Duplantis is how he turned his family’s humble Chicago sandwich place into a fine-dining restaurant."
Today’s Olympic crush is Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis."
