American pole vault star Katie Moon clinched her third consecutive world title in Tokyo on Wednesday, clearing 4.90m to secure gold. The reigning Olympic champion led a dominant U.S. showing, with teammate Sandi Morris taking silver at 4.85m her fourth world outdoor silver. Slovenia’s Tina Sutej earned bronze with a vault of 4.80m. Notably absent was Australia’s Nina Kennedy, who withdrew due to a leg injury following recent hamstring surgery. Moon's victory further cements her legacy as the queen of women’s pole vault.
