It was windy and wet nine degrees during Sunday's Diamond League competitions in Gateshead, UK when all the pole vaulters went out and felt the height of 5.30.
But it did not seem to have any major impact on Armand Duplantis - until the bar was raised to 5.74.
On Mondo's first attempt at the height, we clearly saw how he tore.
But on the second attempt he seemed to have made it, only to then with a few seconds delay and with a stunned face see how the bar fell down in front of him.
- It was very tough today and in what we do, the wind can be dangerous, says Duplantis in Sportkanalen.
Lost to the American
Mondo stayed at 5.55 and the winner was American Sam Kendricks.
The last time Kendricks won over Mondo was in the World Cup on October 1, 2019.
Despite the fact that the Olympics in Tokyo are only a month away, Mondo does not believe that today's results need to indicate a deteriorating form.
-I take with me the lessons from today but still have a good feeling before the Olympics, he says.
