Track and field season heads into the home straight
After a month-long hiatus that included the Commonwealth Games, the Diamond League track and field circuit resumed today with a special men's pole vault "city event" in the heart of Lausanne, Switzerland. Swedish star Armand Duplantis, winner of back-to-back Olympic gold medals and three straight world championships, won it with a meet-record vault of 6.21 metres before failing on his crowd-pleasing attempts at 6.32m, which would have broken his own world record by one centimetre.
