Everyone is making the same joke as Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis storms to gold in 2024 Olympics pole vault

Several social media users reacted uniformly to Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis pole vaulting his way to gold at the Paris Olympics.

On Monday, Duplantis impressively cleared 6.25m to break the world record and secure gold at the games.

However, rather than celebrating the feat, some users compared the Swedish athlete and France’s Anthony Ammirati – but not in terms of their athletic prowess. The Frenchman went viral after his manhood hit the bar and dropped him to a 12th-place finish.

With Ammirati’s mishap gaining much virality, the story influenced much of the response to Duplantis’ victory.

‘That means he got a small [eggplant emoji] right?’ one user wrote.

‘Always easier when you have a smaller pp,’ said another. 

‘Must be tiny,’ a third commented. 

‘Sooo…you’re saying you DON’T have to bang your d*** on the bar in the way down?? THEN WHAT’S THE GD POINT,’ a fourth quipped. 

Nonetheless, Duplantis relished in his victory in front of a large crowd in Paris. 

With every other event having finished for the night and 80,000 fans creating a deafening atmosphere in Paris, he cleared 6.25m at the third and final attempt.

The Louisiana-born Swedish-American broke Thiago Braz’s Olympic record of 6.03m from Rio 2016 before he took on his own world record of 6.24m – set in April.

‘I haven’t processed how fantastic that moment was,’ he said afterwards. ‘It´s one of those things that doesn’t really feel real, such an out of body experience.

He added: ‘The biggest dream since I was a kid was to break the world record at the Olympics.

‘And I’ve been able to do that in front of the most ridiculous crowd I´ve ever competed in front of.

‘I felt really prepared. I’ve never been so locked in my life than in these past three months. Now I´m just ready to eat a bunch of food. The party is going to be pretty big.’
