Australia’s Kurtis Marschall beats pole vault king Duplantis: ‘I didn’t mean to spoil the show’
Mondo’s three-year unbeaten run ended at Diamond League meet
Cameron Myers and Matthew Denny also secure podium finishes
Kurtis Marschall has pulled off one of the upsets of the sporting year as the Australian beat the seemingly unbeatable pole vault king Armand Duplantis in front of his home fans in the Stockholm Diamond League meeting.
And though the world’s top athlete was not happy his 40-event unbeaten run was ended after nearly three years, especially with his adoring Swedish public cheering him on, he reckoned he was glad it was his Adelaide mate and occasional training partner who was the one to achieve it on Sunday.
