Overview
- Armand Duplantis reclaimed first place in the pole vault at the Diamond League meeting in Paris with a 6.13 m clearance and then failed three attempts at a 6.32 m world‑record height on Sunday, a result that steadies his form after an upset loss in Stockholm.
- Karl Bebendorf won the 3,000 m steeplechase in a personal best of 8:05.55, a breakthrough that moves him into contention as a leading German medal hope for the European Championships.
- Swiss runner Audrey Werro clocked 1:53.80 to win the women’s 800 m, a Diamond League record that is the third‑fastest time ever and has reopened discussion about Jarmila Kratochvílová’s 1983 world record of 1:53.28.
- Yemisi Mabry improved to 19.93 m for second in the shot put behind Sarah Mitton, a mark that strengthens her podium case for continental selection.
- The Paris meeting ran an adjusted schedule because of high temperatures, the German mixed 4x100 m team were disqualified after finishing first in a non‑official relay, and other surprise results such as Noah Lyles finishing second to Trayvon Bromell signal shifting form lines ahead of Birmingham.
