Mondo Duplantis reflected on his achievement after his outstanding performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. During an interview with olympics.com in August 2024, the Swedish Olympian described how overwhelming the atmosphere was during his record-breaking jump. He shared that the stadium was filled with loud cheers from the crowd.

Reflecting on his emotions, he said:

“I tried to clear my thoughts as much as I could. The crowd was going crazy. It was so loud in there; it sounded like an American football game. I have a little bit of experience being in a 100,000-capacity stadium, but I was never the centre of attention. [I was] just trying to channel the energy everybody was giving me, and they were giving me a lot of it. It worked out.”

Duplantis, in August 2024, expressed his desire to clear a 6.30m record.
