  2. Duplantis still the man to beat

    Sweden’s world record holder Armand Duplantis confirmed that he remains the man to beat this year with a victory on home soil at the Diamond League meeting in Stockholm, scaling 6.01 metres and setting the world best for a season blighted by the coronavirus.

    Second was Belgium’s Ben Broeders with a vault of 5.73m and Sam Kendricks of the United States edged out Norway’s Paal Lillefosse and Germany’s Raphael Holzdeppe on countback, all three of them reaching 5.53m (Ger).

    Great Britain’s Holly Bradshaw won the women’s event, clearing 4.69m to become one of four British winners at the event with Adam Gemili (200m), Jemma Reekie (800m) and Laura Muir (1500m).

    Who hasn't wanted to try pole vault? The extreme sport of athletics. The discipline sees strong, fast and gymnastic competitors use a pole to launch themselves upside down and over a bar which can be higher than a double-decker bus - not for the faint-hearted!
