Swedish-American Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis, known as the greatest pole vaulter of all time, has decided to take a leap off the athletics track and into the world of music. The two-time Olympic champion surprised his fans by announcing the release of his first single, ‘Bop‘, this Friday, February 28.

FROM WORLD RECORDS TO RECORDING ALBUMS

Duplantis, who has broken multiple world records in the pole vault, is now looking to conquer a new stage: music. The news of his musical debut has generated a great stir on social networks, with supportive comments from some of the most prominent stars in athletics.

Although this is his first official single, it is not the first time Duplantis has been associated with music. He previously appeared in a music video for Norwegian DJ Kygo, alongside his fiancée Desire Inglander. However, this time it’s not a cameo, but a step forward as a leading man.

DUPLANTIS, A NEW SWEDISH HIT?

Sweden is known for being the birthplace of great musical talents such as ABBA, Avicii, Europe and numerous Eurovision hits. Now, Duplantis looks set to add his name to that list. With his charisma and determination, many are wondering if he will achieve chart success in Sweden as easily as he clears the bars in the pole vault.

The title of her single, ‘Bop’, is already generating expectations. Fans are hoping that the song will live up to its name and that Duplantis will prove that her talent is not limited to sport.

A NEW DIMENSION TO HIS CAREER

The release of ‘Bop’ not only marks a new chapter in Duplantis’ life, but also showcases his versatility and desire to explore new creative facets. While his legacy in athletics is more than assured, this leap into the world of music could open new doors for him and cement him as a multi-faceted figure.

For now, it remains to be seen whether his foray into music will be a lasting success or simply a passing fling. What is clear is that Duplantis is not afraid of challenges, whether on the dance floor or in the recording studio.
