    The first six field trophies were handed out yesterday, and as expected Swedish pole vault star Armand Duplantis claimed his fifth straight Diamond League trophy.

    But the double Olympic champion was some way off his scintillating best, taking victory with a first-time clearance over 6m and winning on countback after Greece's Emmanouil Karalis required three attempts to surpass that mark, before both failed at 6.10m.

    "It's really special, I shouldn't take it for granted. Five in a row is crazy and time goes so fast, so I just need to enjoy it," Duplantis said.

    "I'm a human being at the end of the day, I don't break records every time. I can jump really high sometimes and I can feel bad sometimes. Today I felt somewhere in between and sometimes that is what the day gives you."

    Reigning world champion Katie Moon of the United States claimed the women's pole vault title with a best jump of 4.82m.

    Switzerland's Simon Ehammer won the men's long jump on home soil, while American Joe Kovacs and Netherlands' Jessica Schilder won the men's and women's shot put finals respectively.

    'What a moment for British athletics!' - Lake clears two metres for first time

    On Wednesday, Morgan Lake made history by becoming the first British woman to clear two metres in the high jump as she finished third at the Diamond League Final in Zurich.

    Lake soared over the mark at the first attempt to become the 86th woman in history to achieve the landmark height.

    The 28-year-old, whose previous personal best of 1.99m was set in February 2023, was visibly emotional after surpassing the significant 2.00m barrier with just over a fortnight until the start of the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.

    "It's crazy. I was so in the moment and then as soon as I cleared it I was just so emotional because it is something I've wanted to do my whole life. I'm so, so happy," Lake said.

    "Tonight I was like 'I'm going to enjoy it and just jump as high as I can'. It just shows me what I'm capable of if I just believe in myself."

    It's Bahrain's Salwa Eid Naser who powers clear to win in a meeting record time of 48.70 seconds.

    She's followed by Olympic champion Marileidy Paulino, as Britain's Amber Anning clocks a season's best 49.75 in fifth as she builds towards the World Championships.

    Yes, it really is non-stop action over the next few hours in Zurich.

    And Britain's Amber Anning is involved in the first track final of the evening.

    The world indoor champion's season's-best of 49.96 seconds is the seventh-quickest in this eight-woman line-up, lead by Bahrain's Salwa Eid Naser who is the fastest in the world this year.

    The 24-year-old, fifth on her Olympic debut last summer, will look to test herself against some of the world's best here to build further confidence before Tokyo next month.
