American Moon wins third straight world pole vault gold

American Katie Moon won a third consecutive women's pole vault world title in Tokyo on Wednesday.

Text size:

Moon, also the Olympic champion in Tokyo in 2021, cleared 4.90m for gold, with US teammate Sandi Morris taking silver with a best of 4.85m.

It was a fourth world outdoor silver medal for Morris, a two-time world indoor champion.

Slovenia's Tina Sutej claimed bronze with 4.80m.

Reigning Olympic champion Nina Kennedy of Australia did not travel to Japan, having pulled out with a strained leg muscle following hamstring surgery.
