Athletics: Nina Kennedy wins women’s pole vault

Katie Moon misses her first attempt at 4.95m. She only has one left, having carried over a fault from 4.90m.

Nina Kennedy then also misses at 4.95m. But it doesn’t matter if the reigning champion Moon can’t clear 4.95m, as she didn’t clear 4.90m.

And Moon brings the bar down!

Nina Kennedy is the Olympic champion – and she is in tears celebrating with her team, before developing a big smile as she hops for joy.

The Australian cannot believe it as she lets out a scream.

Moon wins silver and Newman bronze.
