When he cleared 5.12 metres he moved to number one on the world best list for U18 athletes, and into the Swedish U20 top ten all-time list. When he cleared 5.17 on his first attempt he secured a medal in the competition, and finished third with 5.22 metres.[3][4] Rogö placed third at the Swedish Athletics Championships in a June 2024,[5] and fourth in the pole vault the following month at the 2024 European Athletics U18 Championships in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.[6]

Rogö won the pole vault at the 2025 European Athletics U20 Championships in Tampere, Finland in August 2025, winning ahead of Zackaria Dia of France, with a personal best clearance of 5.45 metres, having already led the competition on count-back from Dia, with a first-time 5.40m clearance.[7][8][9] Before the event, Rogö said he received a message of support from compatriot and world record holder Mondo Duplantis, saying afterwards that he was "truly an inspiration".[10] Later that month, he cleared 5.27 metres to place fifth at the Finnkampen event in Stockholm, won by Duplantis.[11]
