Throwback pictures from Armand Duplantis and Sha’Carri Richardson’s first day of college goes viral after former LSU stars medal in Paris Olympics.
A ‘First Day of College’ picture from 2018 is going viral for the two Olympic medalists that it featured.
The image is from Louisiana State University in the fall of 2018 and features American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson and Swedish-American pole vaulter Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis.
Both athletes are holding up signs declaring it to be their first day at the school with some of their goals in life.
Not only did they each accurately predict where they would be right now, they also shared fun tidbits about their favorite athletes.
Richardson said her favorite was Usain Bolt, while Duplantis chose his mother Helena Hedlund Duplantis, a former heptathlete and volleyball player.
Even though the two represent different countries, they still share a bond having been track and field stars for the Bayou Bengals.
At the 2023 World Athletics Championships, Richardson told NBC that she ‘saw my Mondo’ and declared him as ‘one of my favorite people in life.’
Reflecting on his time in college and his relationship with Richardson, Duplantis told Olympics, ‘I think it’s a little bit of a surreal situation because time is weird.
