Armond "Mondo" Duplantis has officially set the bar higher than anyone else in the world.
The Watch Secret Sessions OnlineSwedish-American pole vaulter took home gold and then some at the 2024 Paris Olympics. After remaining entirely unbothered throughout the event, he secured the medal and the Olympic record. Then, he continued to compete against himself and his previous world record. On his third attempt, he cleared 6.25 meters, setting a new world record.
He did it all with a coy smile and the best hair we've seen at these Olympics since Kim Yeji's severe bob.

The Louisiana-born athlete competes for his mother's country, Sweden, and is coached by his father, Greg Duplantis. He's won 19 straight competitions and set the world record in pole vaulting nine times. He's unsurprisingly the crowd's and the internet's favorite of the day. As one X user wrote, "Today’s Olympic crush is Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis."

The pole vaulter didn't need to compete at all the heights at the event, so he spent a couple of hours sitting around—foam rolling and checking his watch—while the others competed. When it was finally his turn, he easily clinched his second gold medal.
People recognized Duplantis' undeniable greatness and appreciated his laidback and confident approach to the sport. One user posted an image of a sleeping woman with the caption, "everyone fighting for their livesduplantis:" It currently has over 2,000 likes.

After his world record-breaking performance, the fan cams and love came pouring in, but according to Duplantis, he was already getting "mobbed" in Sweden before he left for the Olympic Games. In recent years, he's gained a teen following thanks to his high-profile relationship with Swedish model and influencer Desire Inglander. It's safe to say his fame just got a lot more intense — and global.

Thanks to his deep-set green eyes and face-framing curls, X users began comparing him to internet boyfriends like The Bear star Jeremy Allen White and Timothée Chalamet, but he's got that world record swag they could never have. One person jokingly wrote, "What’s most impressive about Mondo Duplantis is how he turned his family’s humble Chicago sandwich place into a fine-dining restaurant."
