Mondo Can Sing, Too: Duplantis Releases 'Gold' as Anthem for Ultimate Championship
Armand "Mondo" Duplantis’ first anthem for World Athletics will be woven into the broadcast and live show, with gold medalists earning $150,000.
- On Friday, two-time Olympic champion Armand "Mondo" Duplantis released "Gold" with World Athletics as the official anthem for the Ultimate Championship, which features a $10 million prize fund.
- The 26-year-old Duplantis released his debut single "Bop" in 2025 and told the Olympics channel last year he uses music "as a way of therapy" alongside his athletics career.
- Duplantis wrote the track with Carl Silvergran and Oscar Chase, with the accompanying music video filmed in Budapest featuring archival footage from across his pole vaulting career.
- World Athletics said the song "will be woven into the broadcast and live-event experience," and Duplantis is scheduled to perform "Gold" live in-stadium to close the event.
- The Ultimate Championship will be staged in Budapest from Sept. 11-13, where individual gold medalists will win $150,000 as Duplantis pursues his dream of winning a Grammy.
