ZURICH (Reuters) - France's pole vault world record holder and Olympic champion Renaud Lavillenie easily claimed his third successive European athletics gold medal at the Letzigrund on Saturday.
He needed only two attempts to retain his title, entering the fray at 5.65 metres and clearing 5.80 on his next outing. He then went on to vault 5.90 before failing at 6.01, still well short of the world record of 6.16 he set earlier this year.
