The men’s triple jump may not have matched the kind of excitement witnessed in Doha and Lausanne earlier this year, but the battle between Christian Taylor and Pedro Pablo Pichardo was a close one.

Pichardo and Taylor once again at loggerheads

Pichardo added three centimetres to the meeting record with 17.66m in round two, only for Taylor to better it with the next jump of the competition, flying out to 17.75m. Pichardo improved to 17.73m in round four, while Taylor also came close to the leading mark with 17.74m in round five and 17.64m in round six to hold on to the win.

It now brings their career head-to-head record to 4-4. Taylor leads on 2015 head-to-heads, but Pichardo remains at the top of the Diamond Race standings.
