ZURICH - Sweden's Armand Duplantis and Australian Nicola Olyslagers sealed wins in the Diamond League at the high-octane "city event" in downtown Zurich on Aug 27.
Duplantis, fresh from setting a 13th world record of 6.29m in Budapest earlier this month, was competing in one of six field disciplines held at Zurich's Sechselautenplatz, directly in front of the city's iconic opera house.
The Swede had described the pole vault as a "beautiful circus act" and the street feel to the event certainly led to a visceral ambiance that left the temporary stands shaking amid stomping feet and raucous, choreographed cheers.
"It was really cool, really amazing, I loved the atmosphere," said Duplantis.
