GREECE’S EKATERINI STEFANIDI WON THE WOMEN’S POLE VAULT AND HER COUNTRY’S FIRST ATHLETICS GOLD SINCE THE 2004 ATHENS GAMES.
Stefanidi cleared 4.85 metres to beat American Sandi Morris. Morris also cleared 4.85 but took silver because of more failed attempts earlier in the competition. New Zealand’s Eliza McCartney tied her national record of 4.80 and took bronze.
