Lachie Kennedy in lane 1.
Kennedy misses out on gold
She has to settle for silver as the blustery conditions proved brutal for all the vaulters, but she couldn’t clear 4.70, which is well below her PB, to show how tough it was.
McCartney will take gold on countback after clearing 4.65m on her first attempt in a brilliant result.
Kennedy still with a smile as she left the mat.

She misses her first jump at 4.65 which McCartney clears in her first attempt to take the lead.
Kennedy clears it on a second attempt.
Billings takes Bronze!
She is pipped on the line for silver by Kenyan World Champion Odira.
She moved up the field after a slow first lap and put on an early charge, which Englishwoman Georgia Hunter Bell was able to kick away from.
She misses out on silver by 0.03 seconds, but she doesn’t seem to mind as she becomes Australia’s first medal winner in this event since 1990.
“I’m speechless. I made a move on the front straight to try and get myself in a good position, and I’m so proud I made that move,” she says.
“I had no legs left at the end, but I held on and to be on the podium is unbelievable.
“I’m so proud of what I’ve been able to do and ignore the pressure and be able to perform.”
Women’s 800m final up
Sarah Billings hoping to get Australia’s first medal in this event in nearly 40 years.
Kennedy secures medal
We’re down to the final three and Kennedy has only jumped once.
She’ll get at least a bronze but will be aiming for the top but New Zealand’s Eliza McCartney is also looking strong.
