Armand Duplantis, or 'Mondo' as he's commonly known, comes from an athletic family. His father was a pole vaulter and his mother is a former heptathlete and volleyball player. His two older brothers also pursued sports, with Andreas previously representing Sweden in the pole vault, while Antoine opted for baseball and plays professionally. His younger sister, Johanna, is also a pole vaulter.
Though born and raised in the USA, Armand decided to represent his mother's home country of Sweden. Since then, he has endeared himself to the Swedish public – not only for winning numerous accolades, but for embracing the culture by learning Swedish and driving a Swedish car.
