Armand Duplantis continued his dominance in pole vaulting by winning the Lausanne Diamond League meet with a height of 6.15 meters, just weeks after setting a world record of 6.25 meters at the Paris Olympics. Competing in front of a packed crowd of 5,000 fans, Duplantis cleared 6.00 meters on his first attempt before successfully vaulting 6.15 on his third. His victory in Lausanne marks the first event on the World Athletics elite circuit since the Olympics, showcasing his consistency and skill. American Sam Kendricks finished second with a height of 5.92 meters, while three athletes tied for third at 5.82 meters. Duplantis expressed his excitement about competing in such an intimate setting compared to the larger stadium atmosphere of the Olympics, highlighting the connection with the crowd. The Lausanne event served as a prelude to the main Diamond League program set for the following day at Stade Olympique de la Pontaise.
