After ruling the oval track, the world's No. 1 pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis is making the rounds for showing he's more than just an athlete.

The American-Swedish Olympic gold medalist surprised fans as he gave a peek into his "side quest": singing.

Duplantis recently performed his fourth single, Feelin' Myself, at the Carina Bergdfelt show by Swedish TV network SVT for the very first time as part of its world premiere.

"He’s the best pole vaulter in the world. He shows up at a golf championship—and is suddenly good at that too. And now… he releases a song that has absolutely no business being this catchy," said the eponymous host Bergdfelt on Instagram.

She also called the song "so blatantly good, the audience was ecstatic at the recording yesterday," in a separate IG post.

This is not the first time Duplantis has broken into the world of music. He released his first single, Bop last year, followed by two other releases.

On TikTok, Duplantis joked about how his foray into singing was him getting "a [little] too serious" with his "side quest."

"Chat, I'm cooked?" he captioned a TikTok.

Fans were delighted as they commented praise toward the pole vaulter's singing chops.

"Bro is too bored breaking his own world records, so he just started recording instead," one user wrote.

"Bro's raising the bar again," added another.

"This man can do everything," chimed in one user.

Another jokingly asked if Duplantis would represent Sweden at Eurovision next year.

According to the World Athletics website, Duplantis is the top pole vaulter in the world with a ranking score of 1567.

His latest pole-vaulting feat is breaking his own world record by clearing 6.30 meters at the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25.
