Mondo Duplantis' brothers Andreas and Antoine reflect on the family's competitive spirit and bond
The Duplantis family fostered an environment where athletic exploration was encouraged rather than restricted. Andreas, the eldest brother to Mondo Duplatis, shared that he tried multiple sports without being forced to commit to just one. Their parents believed in letting their children test their abilities across different activities before narrowing their focus.
Andreas Duplantis' younger brothers, Antione and Mondo, followed in his footsteps, each carving out their athletic journeys. Their youngest sibling, Johanna, later emerged as a standout in pole vaulting. The siblings constantly pushed each other, turning casual games into high-stakes contests. The more they saw how badly one wanted to win, the more the other fought to beat them.
Reflecting on the bond, Mondo Duplantis' brother, Antoine, said (nypost.com):
“We have a lot of the same interests but different personalities. Mondo’s a little more fiery, more outgoing. I’m pretty isolated, kind of a loner. My older brother’s a bit of a mix. It works out in a good way that we all keep each other in check.”
Mondo Duplantis broke multiple records in 2024. He set his eighth world record in April 2024, clearing 6.24m and surpassing his previous best. He also secured 10 world and European titles, including an Olympic gold at the 2020 Tokyo. At Diamond League, he claimed three consecutive titles from 2021 to 2023. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Duplantis clinched two gold medals.
