Olympic champion Armand Duplantis got his outdoor season off to a perfect start, winning the men's pole vault at the Prefontaine Classic on Friday while Yaroslava Mahuchikh took gold in the women's high jump with a new world-leading mark this season.
Duplantis, the world record holder, jumped 5.91 meters to finish ahead of Tokyo silver medallist Chris Nilsen and Norway's Sondre Guttormsen at the Diamond League meeting in Eugene, where the world championships will be held in July.
"Winning was the most important thing but I think I would be lying if I said I'm not bitter about making that bar. I felt like it was very possible ... it just wasn't for today I guess." "The jumps were fantastic. I am happy to compete at this stadium because this July the world championships are here," said Mahuchikh.
