A pole vault contest so exciting it ended with not one, but two gold medals.
🇦🇺 Nina Kennedy had never won a global title, 🇺🇸 Katie Moon had two, but at Budapest 23 they were equal.
They both cleared 4.90m, equalling the world lead, on their third try, and when their attempts at 4.95m still couldn’t separate them, they were tied for the lead,
Reminiscent of the men’s high jump final at the Tokyo Olympics, with Barshim and Tamberi two years ago.
Kennedy and Moon had a quick chat and came to the same conclusion agreeing to share the gold.
From Beijing to Budapest ✈️
