Star clashes to light up Lausanne as Diamond League resumes

The Wanda Diamond League resumes in Lausanne, Switzerland, with a city event on Thursday, August 20, followed by the main Athletissima meeting at the Pontaise Olympic Stadium on Friday, August 21. Sweden's Mondo Duplantis, the world pole vault record-holder, headlines the action making his eighth Lausanne appearance after clearing a championship record 6.15m to claim his fourth successive European pole vault title in Birmingham. He will face competition from Greece's Emmanouil Karalis, European silver medallist, and Australia's Kurtis Marschall, who handed Duplantis his first defeat in nearly three years in Stockholm.
