In the field events, the women’s pole vault will feature a highly anticipated duel between World Champion Katie Moon and Olympic Champion Nina Kennedy. With both athletes regularly clearing heights above 4.80m, the competition has all the ingredients for a memorable contest.
The exceptional line-up is further strengthened by the presence of Emmanuel Wanyonyi, Collen Kebinatshipi, Simon Ehammer, Nadia Battocletti and Geordie Beamish, reinforcing the Meeting Herculis EBS’s reputation as one of the premier events on the global athletics calendar.
