The women’s pole vault event at the Diamond League Paris meet highlighted the exceptional talent and dominance of the American team, as Katie Moon led a flawless U.S. sweep of the podium.
Katie Moon, Sandi Morris, and Emily Grove once again demonstrated why they are among the world’s elite pole vaulters, delivering performances that reflected their consistent excellence throughout the 2025 season.
Katie Moon, the reigning Olympic and two-time world champion, has been in outstanding form this year. She has dominated both indoor and outdoor competitions, including a recent victory in Rabat where she cleared 4.73 meters.
With a season-best of 4.83 meters, Moon remains one of the top vaulters globally. Her combination of technical skill and competitive consistency continues to set her apart from the field.
Sandi Morris, Moon’s longtime teammate and rival, matched her height of 4.73 meters in Paris but settled for second place on countback. Morris has also been vaulting consistently above 4.70 meters this season, securing podium finishes at major meets and pushing the limits of the event.
Emily Grove, who claimed third place with a clearance of 4.63 meters, has steadily improved her performances this season. Grove’s determination and consistency have made her a formidable contender and a key contributor to the American dominance in the discipline.
Here are the official top five results for the women’s pole vault:
