"Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy Make History with Shared Pole Vault Gold at World Championships"

American Katie Moon and Australian Nina Kennedy agreed to share the gold medal in the women's pole vault event at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, marking the first time in the history of the championships that two gold medals were awarded in the same event. After both athletes failed to clear 4.95 meters, they chose to share the gold rather than participate in a jump-off. This follows a similar decision made by high jumpers Mutaz Essa Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi at the Tokyo Olympics.
