Mondo Duplantis spoke about winning the Olympic gold medal in an interview with Olympics.com in August 2024. The Swedish-American athlete revealed that a lot of effort was involved to achieve the desired result. Apart from hard work on the track to improve his performance, he had visualized the situation multiple times, which prepared him to deal with the stress and pressure of competing in major competitions.

Moreover, he revealed that visualization helped him to develop the self-belief of achieving something that had never been done before.

“When I was sitting on the back of the runway. I felt like I'd been there 1000 times because I've been visualizing this moment for such a long time. I've visualized and dreamt of this moment since I was just a little kid, like looking at the world record height at the Olympic final," he said.

"For it to actually happen, the way that it did, especially in that stadium with the most amazing crowd that I've ever been a part of, it’s kind of hard to beat. And I'm okay with that. I don't think I really need to beat it because it’s probably not really beatable," he added.

Furthermore, Mondo Duplantis expressed his desire to go out of his comfort zone and push his limits to jump above 6.30m in the future.
