World pole vault record holder ‘Mondo’ Duplantis says he wants to visit Jamaica
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Swedish-American pole vault superstar Armand “Mondo” Duplantis has expressed a strong desire to visit Jamaica, whether for a pole vault event or simply to experience the island’s culture.
In a video shared on Instagram by Dr Tahira Redwood, Duplantis sent a message to Jamaicans, saying,
“Hey my Jamaica people, I really hope to see you soon. Probably not much pole vault events hosted in Jamaica, but I want to come anyway, the vibes look insane. I really need to come to Kingston. I need to come to Jamaica. Just tell me where to pull up and I’m there.”
The 25-year-old Louisiana native, who currently holds the world record in pole vault, also made mention of Jamaica’s world-famous KFC chicken after Dr Redwood explained that it’s known for its signature spicy flavour.
