Ever wondered which songs get pole vault champion Mondo Duplantis in the zone? Tune into Vogue Scandinavia's Spotify below to find out

Professional athletes are known for using all kinds of methods and superstitions to get in the zone before they compete. For Duplantis, his ritual is to listen to a playlist with, what he once described to Vogue Scandinavia, as “vulgar” music “to get that crazy mindset going.”

Fresh off his latest world-record-breaking vault in Budapest, the Swedish-American athlete once again proved that his pre-competition soundtrack is part of a winning formula. Whether it’s chasing gold or setting new heights, Duplantis cues up his go-to tracks to get into his champion headspace.

Exclusively for Vogue Scandinavia, Duplantis has curated his own playlist of 12 tracks the very ones he listens to before flying over the bar — so you can tap into the same energy that took him to the top in Budapest. Hit play below.
