Met Sam Kendricks before. All around class act who brings out the best of his competitors

Great sportsmanship on display.

I loved that moment.

I wonder if this is universal when it comes to pole vaulting. All my meets were always like this; we never felt like competitors, but brothers, only competing with ourselves. This will always be my favorite sport.

Track & Field in general, with the exception of some of the college meets I saw last year.

i laugh as soon as i heard it, maybe he has a crush with the athlete, lol.

well that is an amazing commentator. he is always in flow. the woman commentator called him rob.

@@h4rder10 you mean Rob Jobs? 😅

@@geuros Rob Walker. He does MC at the World Snooker Championships as well.

basadisima, so sexist, basic fit

I like it too but it doesn’t work for fighting

@@alejandrobravo8260 Hahaha well, to each sport its philosophy😂. Maybe for combat sports it’ll be like: “These guys are not my enemy, we aim for the same prize, we struggle and fight each other to have it, and we accept the result with grace when it’s over”. 😎😄

@@alejandrobravo8260 Who said fighting and intentionally hurting another human being for money and views is ethical?

I do highjump on an amateur level and this is why Ai love the competitions! You are genuinely happy when others pass!

Yes Kendricks is really good player I find, in the circle of pole vaulters. Congrats Kendricks

*most nice guy *nicest guy Having two amplifiers is redundant

@@jimbobimboslice okay grammarly

@@jimbobimboslice Nah bro Kendricks is just so nice that he needs 2 amplifiers to quantify it.

Is be excited

😂😂😂😂

Koi

Same as ski jumping

always been curious as to how pole vaulting even began, like did some random just try to launch himself in the air as high as possible?

@@Dasni12 good question

I agree

Only three three and a half months later the same thing about being the nicest,added with he did not seem to have one drop of arrogance in his body was said about Armand Duplantis ,when he was talking to Swedish media ,after landing,standing on the airport .He had ca two days ago broken a World Record which had stood for six years,at the age of twenty.In a weeks time he set a new World Record,it becoming 6.18.This happened indoors,a half a year later he jumped 6.15 outdoors,there by becoming also the man who had jumped highest ever outdoors.I can continue with a long list what he has done since then,he is looked up on for this, but he is still loved every were he goes ,because he is such a nice person.He is 23 YEARS old.Sam Kendricks is also a nice person and has accomplished alot ,but he is seven years older,and taking that into it Mondo gets my biggest point.These answers from most are 2019/2020 i know that,but Mondo had accomplished quit abit before,already fex. at seventeen becoming the yougest ever to qualify to men pole vault at World Athletics Championships.He also won the European Athletic Championship ,pole vault, shocking a whole Sport World,taking 6.05 at the age of 18.

USA, do not forget how close Duplantis was from taking the gold medal.He lost only on Count back to Sam, he had used one attempt more.That is almost as tight as it can be.

LittleDavieG his actually 19 years old

spoiler alert: We lost Mondo... he hasn't come down yet

I mean that's the brand, it's been around well before Duplantis was even vaulting.

@@kennethcoleman1378 Of course... maybe that is a reason why he took the nickname "Mondo" ?

Coincidence?!?!

@@sorrym8421 I think not!!🤣

Anyway who is mondo?? I'm a new fans of them. Thank you

mostly our Polish boi with the pant-soaking war cry

Sweden. Boi now hold the world record 6.18

Be happy as long as you can.

Started watching this video about 13 hours ago, still have 3 minutes left. Work has been very distracting today.

MrStradia I just wanted to see how much higher.... 🤷🏽‍♂️

MrStradia I just came to see if there were women of culture here too

hahaha

Lisek is a bigger guy. Still an amazing pole vaulter. He’s got my respect

That's funny because I was just thinking how quite a few of these men look like models lol Edit: Also I think because it's mostly men who watch athletics videos like this and the majority of men are straight, you'll see more comments on the women's videos about beauty.

@@annika9348 I see what you mean but seeing someone beautiful doing their job doesn't mean you should comment on that and not on the incredible athleticism they're displaying. It's like at work, just because a man is attracted to a woman, doesn't mean they should be saying things like that (vice versa of course). These athletes have been training their whole lives, they aren't thinking about their looks, they're focused on form and personal bests, training ten hours a day, fuelling their body healthily and performing on a world stage. I think they'd be upset if, after all that work, someone just says it is actually a modeling competition, or that their body is hot. I think just because men are straight doesn't mean they aren't able to restrain themselves. I think that sells them a bit short, I know many men that follow women's sport and have glowing things to say about their athletic ability and support them in the same way they do the male athletes they follow in sport.

@@313eve I don't disagree with you. It used to annoy me a lot but now I'm used to men always focusing on looks, so I guess it didn't really phase me seeing all those comments on the women's video. In an ideal world men would have more restraint but there's nothing we can do about it as I've learnt the hard way

@@annika9348 I get that because I've learned the hard way too because of things some men have done to me and my friends and sisters. It does feel impossible to change sometimes and it's sad. Anyway, enjoy watching athletics! I've been watching a lot during quarantine.

@@313eve Thanks and I hope you enjoy watching too :)

That happened

Darude sandstorm

Impressive. On so many levels. Very cool.

Thick asf

Darude - sandstorm

It's for the hands to not slip. The force they must do can easly reduce their grip. The black stuff is sticky, and the white powder is to dry out the sweat of the hands

The white powder is magnesium carbonate and the black is similar to tar.

Likely, electrical tape and lighter fluid - makes a sticky goo.

Pine tar

has this youtube commenter never heard of jokes? xD

Sure you don't mean Farin Urlaub?

Mondo had 1 more faliure from pervious heights so he lost on count back

How is it country shopping? He has dual citizenship

Haha Thats some dark soul shit right there man 😂

Are you a sadist? Get serious.

@@zionlady5921 Just someone who is a fan of creative incentives to perform.

weozol fun fact, duplantis and tom holland are the same person

You’re probably right, think of Swedish taxes and the more in a an American expression here i come,I am the best which is needed in the USA to get forward. In Sweden it is almost the opposite with the old system of the Dante/jante lagen ,it has become better , but it still means don’t come here and think you’re some thing special.You have to make yourself up through sosiety anyway.Armand Duplantis has been able by good parents and being the person he is to take the best of both worlds and that is one of the things that makes him so loved everywhere he goes.
