By the age of 4, Mondo Duplantis was a child prodigy, a Louisiana boy chasing the feeling of the perfect jump. By 21, he became the greatest Pole Vaulter of all time, breaking World Records and winning Olympic Gold. Raised by a family of pole vaulters in a small southern town, Mondo was an outsider amongst his peers but was determined to go pro before graduating high school. Begrudging his father’s advice, Mondo decides to complete his freshman year of college before chasing his dreams of Olympic gold. But shortly into his professional career, Mondo suffers a crushing defeat at the World Championships-sending him home, downhearted and dejected. After reuniting with his father, a burning passion is reignited within Mondo, and fuels a comeback at the Tokyo Olympic games. Will Mondo fail or fly when he retakes the world stage? In this coming-of-age tale, we see a young man’s unrelenting drive clash with his ability to navigate new terrain, which ultimately brings him closer to the sky. -Zuri Obi, NOFS Programmer
