How did Mondo Duplantis meet Desiré Inglander?
On Feb 13, 2024, 2x Olympic gold medalist Mondo Duplantis took to his Instagram to share a picture with Desiré Inglander and captioned it, “3 years with this one.” The two had met each other on Midsummer Eve in 2020, one of Sweden’s oldest and most important festivals. However, it wasn’t a smooth flow from the get-go. Why so? Well, Desiré Inglander wasn’t looking for a relationship when she graduated high school, but Mondo Duplantis had other plans.
Drawn to her instantly, he soon realized that Swedish flirting customs weren’t exactly in his favor. As Mondo Duplantis has revealed, he had to prove himself. “She probably did not think I had good intentions at the start. I had to prove over time that I was a respectable young man, ha! And that I would treat her with respect. It won her over, I think,” he told Swedish newspaper Sportbladet.
