Perhaps Europe's most beloved athlete of the current era, the electric and charismatic Mondo makes his LA debut, reaching for his 7th World Record breaking performance. Mondo will likely be strongly challenged by Olympic Silver medalist Chris Nilsen and Bronze medalist Sam Kendricks. Best of all, the Drake pole vault pit is the closest to the stands in any stadium in the World.

The Drake shot put pit was built in the '80's and is just barely long enough to accommodate the range of these ballistic hurlers. Let's see how close they get to "going yard".
