Sam Kendricks won the World Cup gold of 5.97 thanks to a demolition fewer than Armand Duplantis. Had both had the same number of demolitions, a jump would have been required.
However, the gold medalist reveals that in such a scenario, the duo would probably have refused to jump.
- I jokingly said to Mondo: If we take the same height, should we share the victory or jump? We both thought about it last night, because we have been so smooth this year. Tear, clear, win, lose, one, two .. It's like an exciting story.
