Men’s pole vault final

He’s done it, 6.30 metres, Armand Duplantis you are not human!

Many in the stadium had already begun celebrating as Armand Duplantis made that second attempt as the bar looked set to stay up.

This has been the only ongoing event in the stadium for some time now but, approaching 11pm, nobody is going anywhere.

The Mondo factor for you.

Like the fans in the stands, Mondo’s fellow pole vaulters are waiting around in expectation. Silver medallist Emmanouil Karalis was even holding a fan for Duplantis between his first and second record attempts.

Everybody here wants to see Duplantis deliver.

Armand Duplantis is about to make his third and final attempt at 6.30 metres. Drama in Tokyo.

Will he break the men’s pole vault world record for the 14th time in his career?

Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.

That was close.

He has hit the pole harder than that previously and it has stayed.

You can see the conversations with his Dad and coach. This is a really important moment for a coach. It can really make a difference.

Olympic champion Cole Hocker (USA) has been disqualified from the final of the men’s 1500m.

Hocker had finished second in the second semi-final after being pipped in the sprint by Reynold Cheruiyot. However, he has been penalised for pushing his way through the group.

He has been replaced in the final by Germany’s Robert Farken.

Argghhhhh so close!! Armand Duplantis looks to have broken the world record with his second attempt at 6.30 metres, but his chest clips the bar on the way back down. The height was there!

He’ll make one more attempt – third time lucky?

In case you’re wondering why Armand Duplantis only attempts world records in one centimetre increments:

Given that athletes receive a $100,000 (£74,000) bonus every time they break a world record, it makes financial sense for Duplantis to nudge his record by small amounts.

Also, it’s pretty difficult to reach the heights Duplantis does!

Pole vault always ends in failure. But that was no failure for Emmanouil Karalis.

He had a blip at 5.95m and will have had some personal doubts but he was able to get through it.

There is more to come from him.

Armand Duplantis attempts a world record height of 6.30 metres, but clips the bar.

That was just a sighter, he’ll have another go.

Armand Duplantis is getting ready to attempt a world record height of 6.30 metres. Don’t go anywhere.

Armand Duplantis is right up there with one of the greats.

We talk about what Usain Bolt did for the sport, the energy that he brought. And Duplantis is doing the same. People are talking about him and the pole vault. He is doing great things.

He said that he is flirting with 6.30 metres but he needs the conditions and the atmosphere from the crowd. It is about him feeling good.

Emmanouil Karalis clips the bar at 6.20m, so Armand Duplantis takes the gold medal!

Now, is the Swede going to push for a 14th world record? His current record stands at 6.29m.

What a run from Ditaji Kambundji. Phenomenal.

In the Diamond League, she smashed the last hurdle so we knew she had the capabilities if she kept flawless. She got out the blocks well and made no mistakes.

She did not stress – she just kept her rhythm and her timing. What a result for her.

WOW! Emmanouil Karalis is so, so close to clearing a would-be personal best of 6.15m, but he brushes the bar and it falls.

Over to you, Mondo Duplantis…

He clears once again, and it just looks so easy. The pressure is back on Karalis now.

It was always going to come down to this.

In his pursuit of Mondo Duplantis, Greece’s Emmanouil Karalis has risen to fourth on the event’s all-time list by clearing 6.08m last month.

But it just isn’t enough against the GOAT.

Credit to Karalis, he is going to give this his best shot and is lining up an attempt at a huge personal best of 6.15m in the hope of causing an almighty shock.

What a time to run a national record!

Switzerland’s Ditaji Kambundji wins the women’s 100m hurdles with a time of 12.24 seconds. She can’t believe it.

Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan takes silver and USA’s Grace Stark completes the podium.

It is the way that the bar seems to flick Armand Duplantis off at the top. It comes down to speed – he is able to load that speed into the pole.

I love the fact that Emmanouil Karalis is asking the questions. He is giving Armand Duplantis a run for his money.

Emmanouil Karalis and Armand Duplantis are going at it in the men’s pole vault final.

Karalis looks to have cleared the bar at 6.10 metres, but he clips it on the way down.

Duplantis then clears at his first attempt, piling the pressure on his Greek opponent.

In the women’s 100m hurdles, Nigeria’s Tobi Amusan (12.36 seconds) – the world record holder – ran the fastest time in the semi-finals.

However, she’ll have a battle on her hands for gold against American Olympic champion Masai Russell, Jamaican world champion Danielle Williams and USA’s Grace Stark, who ran 12.37 seconds in the first semi-final.

Canada’s Camryn Rogers successfully defended her world title, producing a winning throw of 80.51m in the women’s hammer throw.

It is a personal best and a Commonwealth record for the Canadian.

China’s Jie Zhao threw a personal best of 77.60m with her final throw to reclaim the silver medal from 18-year-old compatriot Jiale Zhang (77.10m), who takes bronze.
