Bergqvist: We will get to see the "Mondo show" for many years to come

The athletics federation captain Kajsa Bergqvist is extremely impressed after Armand Duplantis' second consecutive Olympic Games gold and world record in front of a packed Stade de France. I was completely convinced that he would make 6,25 today, says Bergqvist.

There is no one who can handle being the favorite like Armand "Mondo" Duplantis, says the national team captain.

He is phenomenal at it. It's an incredible privilege to be the world's best athlete in all categories, but it's also an enormous pressure. He handles it incredibly well, says Bergqvist.

She felt safe throughout the competition.

He is in the zone, it feels like it already during the qualifying round.

Bergqvist was not surprised that Duplantis set a world record – the new record stands at 6.25 meters.

I was completely convinced that he would do 6.25 today, considering how it has looked, says the national team captain.

If Duplantis can continue to stay injury-free and healthy, his great dominance in the sport has only just begun, says Bergqvist.

He is still young and has already won two Olympic Games gold medals, and continues to dominate in a completely fantastic way, says she and continues:

So we will get to see the "Mondoshow" in many championship years to come, I am convinced of it.
