Morris wins pole vault in Stockholm

US pole vaulter Sandi Morris claimed victory at the Wanda Diamond League city event at BAUHAUS-Galan in Stockholm on Saturday.

Sandi Morris soared to a season’s best of 4.82m to win the women’s pole vault in Stockholm’s Täby Square on Saturday.

Morris overcame Switzerland’s Angelica Moser to claim her second Diamond League win this month, having claimed her first win in three years in Rome on June 6.

The American survived two failures at 4.63 before rallying to defeat a world-class field at the city event in Stockholm.

She and Moser were the only two women to clear 4.63m. Morris then cleared 4.73m at the first attempt to seal victory, before taking 4.82m with her second jump.

She fell just short of breaking her own meeting record of 4.86m, failing to clear the bar atr 4.87m.

The main programme at the Wanda Diamond League Stockholm will take place on Sunday evening.
