Shawnacy Barber was the only jumper to clear 5.90 metres on his first attempt, which was good enough for gold in a star-studded field. Defending champion Raphael Holzdeppe captured silver.
Renaud Lavillenie of France, the world
record-holder and an Olympic gold medallist, shared the bronze with
Pawel Wojciechowski and Piotr Lisek, both of Poland.
The medal is Canada’s fourth of the competition and the country’s first
ever in pole vault.
It was Canada’s first gold since Perdita Felicien
won the 100-metre hurdles in 2003 in Paris
