Little factoid.

The gold medal pole smok...uh... vaulter is Armand Duplantis. His brother is LSU's career hits leader, Antoine Duplantis.

Father was a world class pole smok...uh...vaulter, who went over 19 feet.

Mother was a Swedish heptathlete and volleyball player. Athletically talented family, obviously.

Also it's one of those weird things where he was born and raised in Louisiana - only is competing for Sweden because they made his dad the national team coach.

He's the most popular athlete in Sweden, if he competed for America he'd be known for one day.
